Attention: Resident Elk Hunters Capped B-Tags On Sale August 1 At 4 A.M.

LEWISTON - Idaho resident elk hunters planning to purchase tags for north central Idaho may need to wake up early to secure a coveted tag for this fall. A limited number of tags for the Dworshak, Lolo, Selway, Elk City and Middle Fork Zones will go on sale beginning August 1 at 4:00 a.m. Pacific time at Fish and Game regional offices, some license vendors and online through the Department's website. Hunters are reminded that this is the first year that resident tags in the Dworshak and Elk City Zones have been capped. The sale time is when the electronic sales system (POSM) comes on each day. The early timing should also spread out the load so the system doesn't crash, as it has in the past. Interested tag purchasers are encouraged to check license vendors in their area to determine if they will be open at this early hour.
