August discount on second elk tags through Fish and Game

Throughout August, unsold nonresident elk tags will be discounted to $299 (plus $1.75 vendor fee) when purchased as second tags through the month of August. Starting Sept. 1, these nonresident elk tags will be available as second tags at the regular price while supplies last.

Second deer tags are also available beginning Aug. 1, but will not be discounted due to high demand. The price for second deer tags is $300 (plus $1.75 vendor fee) while supplies last.

Second tags come from the nonresident quota (12,815 elk tags and 15,500 deer tags). Starting in 2000, unsold nonresident tags have been made available to residents and nonresidents as second tags (about 70 percent) are sold to residents.

If the nonresident quota sells out, second tags will no longer be available for the 2016 big game season.
