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!
 
Why not buy him a license and put him into the 2nd draw for the same tag? Then if he doesn’t draw wait for a return tag sale and buy one, if you really want him to hunt this year there will be opportunities to grab him a tag still

If he didn’t put in for the first draw, he can’t put in for the 2nd.
