Ok, I messed around and didn't put in for my archery deer tag before the deadline. I didn't think it was a big deal because I've always heard you can buy one after the draw because they have never run out. Well I went online just now to look at buying one and the option for buying one is grayed out on their website. Is there no way to buy one online now? Do I have to drive up there without one and hope I can buy one over the counter? Not really a gamble I want to take for that long of a trip.

not sure about DIY tags, I know if you enter through an outfitter you will for sure get tag.

I'm not sure why they even have an archery draw anymore. You can buy one over the counter when you get there. They haven't sold their quota in years, of course there is always the risk they might sell out before you get there.
