Hi all, I am wondering if anybody knows if it is possible to switch from say black powder to modern firearm on your elk tag once it is purchased. I have not had much luck finding this info online anywhere. I purchased my tags for deer and elk, but them found out I will be working out of the state for the entirety of the muzzleloader season and am wondering if I can switch to modern firearm... any info would be appreciated. thanks, chris |

If you didn't apply for any special permit elk hunts, then they will let you exchange your muzzleloader tag for a modern firearm tag. You can call the WDFW in Olympia and get it straightened out. This phone number should work: 360-902-2515. Actually you may be able to just go to any license dealer and do it. There will probably be a small fee of a dollar or two. |

I did apply for an elk special hunt but didn't get drawn for any of them (suck!). Hopefully that won't be held against me. I think I will just go try it and see what happens.... |

last time I had a chance to visit with some WDFW folks they said that they are gonna be buckling down on that and only allow it if for medical reasons. too many people applying then switching after not drawing. was during a hunter education "conference". good luck & let us know that works out. |

It doesn't matter if you got drawn or not, if you applied for a permit, you can't change your tag later. If they do let you do it, they're not following the rules. If they let one person do it, then everyone should be able to do it. |
