The_Field_Ager Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Papist .. dont forget thou even on ur property DEC wants your tag visable on you while hunting just saying ... I know, but it's dumb and I just don't care that much for stoopid rules. Seems to be some kind of weird conditioning exercise more than anything practical.

greensider Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 you can get your carcase tags replaced i lost all my tags last year before the season opened i paid the 5 dollar fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Most hunting gear/clothes have back tag loops designed into them so you don't have to poke any holes. I keep it on my backpack as well so it's always on me regardless of which jacket I wear. My backpack has loops as well. Pic#1 = back of my jacket. Pic#2 = back pack.

fasteddie Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I was wandering if people will comply to drive in their vehicle with the driver's license in their back... Not a problem . I carry my hunting clothes in a sealed tote and put them on when I get to the place I am going to hunt . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 None of these DEC replies to back-tag questions ever address the fact that most hunters wander around with a backpack covering the center of their back. So if they are to be visible, they cannot be attached to your back, but must be on the pack. And then when you take the pack off assumedly they have to be removed and re-attached to the back of your outer garment. I would think that they must have been asked about that enough times that they should think it important enough to answer questions about all that stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfdeputy2 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I got stopped by DEC only once since hunting in NY had my back tag on my backpack all he said was if I take the backpack off to make sure the tag went on my back as for the tags I have a clear name tag holder with a safety pin that I just put my tag in & pin to the ear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Well DEC tells you to put it visibly in the center of your back, but i think its funny they make you pay for these back tags and then you have to ruin your gear (expensive waterproof jacket) by punching holes through it ? its also a whole lot easier to put in you pocket so when a DEC Officer asks you for your licence you don't have to take your jacket off to get out of the Back Tag. I never put my license or tags in with my back tag. Carry license and tags in pocket. As for back tag it's on the outer clothing. Has anyone ever had a problem with where the back tag was?

jrm Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) I was wandering if people will comply to drive in their vehicle with the driver's license in their back... Driving is no different. You must carry your license "on your person" while engaged in the activity. Your numbered "tag" (license plate) must be visibly displayed on the back (and front). Your car acts as "outerwear" in this case so the tag is always visible. Edited August 31, 2015 by jrm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstatehunter Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Mine goes on my back in the back tag holder but I put it in upside down......hard to remember numbers that are upside down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackULL Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think I will just make a colored copy, place on a holder & necklaced it in my back. The original will be inside the bag with the tags. Still compliant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
