Youth Elk Tag

[NagaViper]

I went down at 10am the other morning to try and get my daughter an elk tag, by the time it was my turn, they were sold out. But, after looking at the regs, it looks like a youth resident hunter can hunt a specific zone, on either the A or B tag. Have any of you had experience doing this? Seems like a pretty good deal.

yes it is a good loop hole for youth hunters.

I'm not sure how to interpret that. Is there a basic "general elk" tag for youth that allows them to hunt any non-controlled hunt and does not account for limited quota tags?

Or is this saying that they can hunt the A or B seasons regardless of the type of tag they pick up?

Yes, any open season for the zone.

That's how I read it too. Thanks guys.

I just verified with IDFG. It does allow youth to hunt the B season if they get the A tag and visa versa. They have to still hunt the unit/s that the tag is printed for though.
