Title: Tag Question
Post by: cbond3318 on July 24, 2012, 08:07:16 AM: I have never asked or needed too, until now. Can you trade a Modern Deer tag for Muzzleloader or archery before either of the seasons start? Figure you guys would know more than the Sporting Goods clerk at Walmart.

Any license dealer can do the exchange, but be sure to do it between about 8 AM to 4 PM, because they will need to make a phone call to the WDFW.
