Most western states are over the counter for bow hunting so you just need to figure where you want to hunt . I've hunted in most of them and tags have never been a probem . There are a couple states that have special draw areas but these are trophy hunts usually. The easy tags are what got me back to archery hunting because you could get a archery tag just about anywhere nonresident , Rifle tags are another thing all together . Luck on your hunt .
