i want to say hi to everyone im new to tg. i want to hunt deer and elk, what states can you buy a over the counter liscense for deer and elk? i would like to go on public land.

[beaver#1]

you can buy deer tags in texas over the counter.  cant help help the elk though.  unless you want to hunt high fenced pets

[straitera]

Look into the Fish & Game Departments of; Oregon, Kentucky, New Mexico, Montana. Idaho, to begin. You're getting a late start this year.

I think Idaho and Colorado are your best chances for over the counter elk tags.

Here in WI we have a ton of tags, a lots of public land, not as many deer but lots of tags.  Sorry no elk to shoot, a few to watch but none to shoot. Seriously hunting is not all that bad and a license is about 125.oo out of state and you can buy tags until your broke. The WI DNR website will tell you all you need.

Washington state sells over the counter for blacktail deer and Roosevelt elk, as well as bear and cougar

[John Scifres]

Most whitetail deer states are OTC.  Mulies are a different matter.  Utah also has OTC elk tags.  Idaho may be sold out on their non-res quota.  Check ID DNR's site.

Hi there. Hap

Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington all sell over-the-counter tags for elk. However, it's a little late for 2009 as someone has already pointed out.
