I don't know. I've only hunted Colorado and Idaho. I bought my Idaho license through the outfitter. There was a fishing license required in addition to the elk license. I know they're doing it to make money. I'm surprised they don't increase the number of nonresident tags considering they make 10x or more on nonresidents.
