Title: Help with question on a non-res Idaho elk tag
Post by: COOPDUCK on March 30, 2020, 05:05:42 PM: Hello
Would appreciate any insight on this. My family and I have decided to do a rifle elk hunt in Idaho this fall. We are looking at the Weiser River Elk Zone B Tag. We logged into the Idaho fish and game site last night to purchase the license and tag. Upon putting the license and tag in shopping cart, a question popped up asking us to identify the unit we would be hunting in, whether we would be hunting in 22, 32, or 32A? We know we want to hunt this unit, but we want to get some boots on the ground later this year to pinpoint EXACTLY where we want to focus our efforts. If I answer the fish and game website and say we are hunting a specific unit, does that 100% lock me into only hunting that unit? If I say 22, will I get a ticket if we end up deciding to focus on 32A? Six months left to research and scout, I would really like more time to decide for sure where we will end up. I have emailed fish and game, but with corona going on, they may or may nor reply within 3 days. Meanwhile the number of tags is dwindling, and I'm afraid I will miss out on purchasing. Any insight from someone experienced with Idaho non-res rules? Thanks for your help.

Please remember this ! Or go to a fish and game office when you arrive in idaho and get it printed out and pay a few bucks to have a valid license and tags. Plus its a great place to ask questions from some locals .
