Can I pick up my Wife's tag?

We didn't mean to wait until the last minute but she ended up in the hospital this week and we are still here. Her cow tag starts tomorrow and we have not bought it or her 2005 license yet.

Will the ODFW let me pick up her tag and licence without her being there? Luckily the tag is a month long and she should be up and going for the last 2 weeks of the season.

Thanks- Wak

Yes I believe you can pick up the tag. I know you can't buy her license because I just tried to get my wife�s when I bought mine.

I think she has to have her license before she can pick up the tag, but if she has a 2004 license that should work, I think.

My understanding is that you can pick it up.

Not able to buy her liscence(sp) but you can pick up her tag. I would pick it up today while she still has a valid 2004 license. Then she can get her own 2005 when she is feeling better but the tag will be taken care of. The big game regs says that you can purchase the tags for friend or family but a resident license has to be purchased buy the license holder. Page 12 FAQ's middle column Lic/tags second question.

Here is the big game regs link if you don't have the paper copy infront of you.
