Hunters who were successful in the draw will still receive a notification card by mail by mid-March, however, it is the responsibility of hunters to find out their draw results for hunts. Those who do not have access to the internet can either wait to receive their notification card, or visit a Fish and Game license vendor to determine draw status.
Hunters who already have a general season bear tag may exchange their general season bear tag for the appropriate controlled hunt tag. Alternatively, they may keep their general season bear tag and purchase a controlled hunt bear tag.
Any exchanges of tags must be completed at a Fish and Game office, and reduced priced tags or second bear tags cannot be exchanged for a controlled hunt tag.
