Elk tag quotas

Overview

Elk tags are valid for areas smaller than a wildlife management unit (WMU), referred to as harvest areas. Use the map and descriptions to find your harvest area.

For a chance to hunt elk, you must apply to the elk draw for a tag and pay the draw application fee. Applicants cannot select a bull or cow tag type; these will be randomly assigned. Learn how to apply to hunt big game.

Note: Hunters who are successful in the elk draw and are issued an elk tag are not eligible to receive another elk tag in their name for 5 years, but may continue to be listed as a member of a group and party hunt for elk during this time.
