all most everything is over the counter..there are draw hunts but U can get deer and elk tags OTC...mostly for spike bulls and 3 pt or better on deer (mulies) deer season is from late sept to nov and dec mixed permit hunts and open seasons ...elk is anywhere from sept to jan mixed hunts..with the general bull season in late oct!look for the hunts to be posted in may..but don't waste any time if U want to get in on the permit draws!!....but if your a meat hunter there are plenty of spikes running around in the general season..I personally hunt for meat... as nobody has yet given me a decent recipe for them big horns LOL!!!!!!
