Early archery season has already come and gone, so that would not be an option.

It's not "retarded." It wouldn't be fair for you to have had the option of hunting early archery season on the westside, and then when not successful in filling your tag, exchanging it for a eastside tag because you wanted to hunt the late season over there, would it? How does the WDFW know you haven't already hunted with that tag?
