Q. I understand I need to apply for a drawing to get a leftover elk tag this year. When?
A. From August 5-15 is the application period for the second drawing for elk, deer, antelope (if any) and fall black bear controlled hunts. Hunters who drew in the first big draw must pick up their tags by August 1 or they will go into the pool for the second drawing.
