Is it possible to exchange Idaho NR Elk Tag with Father?

[dydetert]

I got lucky this year and was able to draw a Beaverhead A tag along with my hunting partner (friend). My issue is my father is getting up there in age and has never archery hunted in the West (Wisconsin Residents). I would love to give him my tag if possible, even if it means I have to buy him a tag in a different unit to exchange, never make it there, and use it as expensive bullion.

Has anyone successfully exchanged idaho NR OTC tags? I spoke with IDFG this morning and they said a direct transfer is not possible, only father to son. However, I read a different thread on this site that was talking about exchanging tags. I am not too concerned with having to pay a fee, I am just wondering if anyone has actually successfully gone through the process. Thanks!

No clue, but my dad is of the age that I can deeply sympathize with your scenario. I hope you work it out.

I think you answered your own question per IDFG, I’d go off of what IDFG says vs all the random guys on a forum who heard from their cousin who had an uncle that had a friend that did it in 1965.
