Nonresident Tag Sales Start December 1

Nonresident elk hunters looking to buy Selway B-tags for the 2008 seasons will find a slight change in how licenses, tags and permits are sold starting Saturday, December 1. The 2008 licenses, tags and permits go on sale at 12:01 a.m. MST, December 1, except for the nonresident Selway B elk tags which go on sale at 10 a.m. MST. The sale of these popular tags is being delayed because many license vendors and Idaho Department of Fish and Game offices will not be open at midnight. By delaying the sale timing, hunters will have an equal opportunity to buy the tags. Nonresident hunters can buy their licenses and tags at the Lewiston Fish and Game office, any license vendor, or by credit card by calling 1-800-554-8685. They can also buy them at the Fish and Game Website at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov. The Lewiston Fish and Game office, at 3316 16th Street, will be open from 8:30 a.m. to noon on December 1. Big game hunters can find more information on the sale and purchase of tags for residents and nonresidents on pages 5-10 of the Idaho 2007 Big Game Seasons rules booklet.
