Looking for Idaho otc deer tag?

[Gunsmoke Outfitters]

Looking to purchase an Idaho otc deer tag from anyone who might have drawn something else and can’t go to Idaho. Will pay all fees and for the tag! Thank you and any help would be appreciated

You can't just buy a tag from someone and use it, it has their name and license number on the tag itself. If someone returns a tag IDFG just resells it online.

Will you also be paying the fines incurred?

You can transfer tag through fish and game I believe

 

[Gunsmoke Outfitters]

it’s called a tag designation! Call fish and game if you have any questions

2000. Sell an elk tag for 5000. Or to the highest bidder

And yes, you can designate it to someone specific. There was a thread on it last year I seem to recall. Good luck!

Gotta try, beats eating the tag if someone else drew something better

Shit. Next year I’ll buy one of each and resell them I guess. That seems like a flaw in the system that needs to be fixed.

Hmmm. I thought it was only to someone in your family. Guess I better read up.

From whatI found a transfer is only for controlled hunt tags and have to go to a tag holders child or grandchild.

 

[Rob5589]

So, if I found the correct info, controlled tags can be transferred to children/grandchildren for both res and non res. Not so for general tags.

I was told different from fish and game office today, who knows, they said yes you can but that’s from them

 

[Gunsmoke Outfitters]

Didn’t mean to start an argument between everyone, just going off what Idaho fish and game told me

 

[Rob5589]

I was bored so I searched. All I found was transfers to child/grandchild. I may have missed it though. I could swear there was a thread last year where someone did designate a specific person, and not their child.

 

[Gunsmoke Outfitters]

They said with otc tags, they can be designated to anyone as long as proper forms were filled out through fish and game

No argument here, I hope I’m wrong and you can get a tag. I would try to get a rule number or the person you spoke to to put it in writing. Good luck.

Not saying you're wrong but I have been told different things by different people when calling IDFG...if it were me, if it isn't specifically in the regs, I wouldnt fool with it...

 

[BAKPAKR]

I was going to call BS (except as it applies to kids and some controlled hunt tags), but p. 112 of the regs, under the heading “Nonresident Tag Quotas,” makes me think OP is correct. I think this is a flawed provision as I can see that it could easily result in abuse.

Here it is

I have til October 10th to find one, hopefully I can find one out of all those tags? Reason is my hunting partner drew a 43 bull tag from October 15th through November 10 and I would love a deer tag in my pocket while we are looking for a bull!
