Title: Idaho - Elk City B Tag
Post by: Antlershed on March 11, 2018, 05:15:22 PM: Finally making the jump from WA to ID, and was going to buy a Salmon Zone B tag, but I put it off for too long and they sold out. Now I’m looking at the Elk City Zone B tag, and wondering if anyone has any insight they would be willing to share? Thanks in advance.

It’s an error. When I went on to try and purchase, it didn’t show up as an option. I called the call center last night and they said they just found out that they have actually been sold out for a while now.

That’s very unlike IDFG if they really are sold out and they’re showing hundreds available...

If it’s not they have a voicemail and email from me and I’d expect them to switch If it was just a glitch. But all signs point to salmon B being sold out for 2018

There are critters just waiting for you to visit them, and, invite them home for dinner this Elktember in other Zones in Idaho. Heck, you could hunt downtown Boise and probably have a better season that what WA offers you during the elk rut in SEP :chuckle:

Yes, you’re correct. Just called as well. Sounds like the weekend call center had bad info. :tup:

Thank you for the offer, but we were able to get Salmon Zone tags this morning and stick with our original plan.
