Title: Exchanging your tags
Post by: P Coltrain on April 29, 2016, 01:35:04 PM: My group is putting in for an Oregon deer hunt, but it occurs at the same time as the westside muzzy early elk season. I'm thinking that if we draw the Oregon hunt, we should be able to exchange our Washington muzzy tags for rifle tags some time this summer before the deadline (Sept. 20th). Is this correct? Has anyone had experience exchanging your tags? I've never done it before and want to make sure it's going to work as advertised.

Thanks for any tips or info.
