Nonresident general-season elk tags are not sold over the counter: beginning with the 2026 season IDFG issues them by random draw — first application period Dec 5-15, 2025, second application period Feb 5-15, 2026 — against a statewide nonresident general-season quota of 12,815 elk tags.

Elk City Zone nonresident limits — A Tag: 77 nonresident tags (capped zone — 628 total capped tags, of which 545 are resident tags and 6 are allocated to outfitters), archery-only and muzzleloader-only seasons.

B Tag: 261 nonresident tags (capped zone — 1,432 total capped tags, of which 1,131 are resident tags and 40 are allocated to outfitters).

Price: $651.75 nonresident elk tag plus $185.00 nonresident hunting license (Idaho Big Game 2026 Seasons & Rules, Nonresident License, Tag and Permit Fees, prices as of December 1, 2024).
