Ask Fish and Game: Exchanging Tags
idfg-mcoleman
Q. I have changed my mind about where I want to hunt elk this fall. Can I exchange my tag?
A. It depends. Tags for controlled hunts can't be exchanged, nor can tags for general hunts that already are open. But tags for a general season that has not opened may be exchanged - for a fee of $3.75. Tags can be exchanged only at a Fish and Game office, and only once for each species.
