I'm brand new to hunting in Idaho but my father and I decided to go next week to try to bag an elk. What my question is if I buy an over the counter archery elk tag, am I able to hunt state wide other than the Owyhee and Hells Canyon zones or do I have to buy that over the counter elk tag for a specific zone? I've been driving myself nuts trying to understand The Idaho Fish and Game website and want to make sure I'm doing everything legally. Thankyou in advance.

Hi Orion to answer your question No on the state wide elk hunting.You have to pick a zone which is often made up of multiple units that may have different rules for each unit. The Owyhee and Hells canyon zones have no general elk tags. The sawtooth zone is sold out. Get your hands on a copy of the paper regs. Their not as bad as the online version

Thanks a bunch! After further research I noticed on their online portion of available tags it didn't include the area I wanted, but it fell under the "all other zones" category, I appreciate the help! Can't wait to head out there next week!
