OTC Idaho Elk tags

[huntnnw]

nothing is close to being sold out and the 2 units that are sold out are the same 2 that sell out every year usually in a matter of hours and only one of those is a B tag and the other being a A tag. There is 12,815 elk tags total with 9,071 still available with 700 of those tags being sold as the 2 units that sell out every year.

How can there be nothing close to being sold out and then you say there are two units sold out??? I am going by what IDFG office in Boise told me. There is a northern unit with 2300+ plus tags that only have 200 left. I would say that is pretty close to being sold out.

What unit has 2300 tags?  Did you see the tags avail per unit link? 

[huntnnw]

its the same 2 zones that sell out every year with a grand total of 700 tags! I have never heard of a Northern tag

This is all the non resident elk tags . Updated just a few days ago

Come August 1 a large % of these outfitter tags that go unsold are available to purchase .

Probably a resident tag quota. There are a couple units with 2000plus tags that have sold out already. I think born is being mislead or at least misinformed.

Probably talking about Dworshack, resident plus non resident tags runs around 2000 if I remember right and it only has 200 left. Still time to buy it if you want it.

Right. 2018 regs show 2380 total tags for 2018. 200 or so left for 2019.  Am I reading something wrong?

I was just calling 10A a northern unit.

Non residents only get 215 of the 2400 tags for dworshak. Residents have to wait until the summer to buy a tag. Not sold out but they will all be eventually.
