erussell Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Anyone else get annoyed when they make the tags the same color of the leaves as they did this yr with the tags. The last time they made them brown I shot a doe first day and was gutting her out. I went for my string to tie on the tag and couldn't find it so I set the tag down on the deer and turned around to get the string out of my back pack laying on the ground behind me. I turned back around and the tag was gone and I only had one doe permit!!!!. After walking around down wind for 1/2 an hour I finally found it 20yrds away downhill sticking out from under a leaf. Would have been a lot easier if it was a bright color. Same reason my hunting knife is blaze orange, Set that sucker down after gutting a deer and it sticks out like a sore thumb.

WNYBuckHunter Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I dont see the sense in using brown either. Youd think they would stay with red, orange, yellow or other bright colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggamefish Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Come on now if you think hard enough you will find out the reason they did that. Our state needs money and if we loose our tags it is another 50 or so dollars to replace them right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNYBuckHunter Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Its $40 if you lose all of them at once. Back tag replacement is free. From DEC site... "Beginning with the 2002/2003 license year a lost license, back tags, big game carcass tag sets and turkey permits may be replaced at any licensing issuing agent for a fee of $5 per license type being replaced and $10 per Carcass Tag Set. For example, replacing a Sportsman, a Bowhunting, a Turkey Permit and a Muzzleloading license would cost $5 x 4 license types equaling $20 and $10 x 4 Carcass tag sets equaling $40. (Even though there are four carcass tags with your turkey permit, they are considered a set and would cost $10 for all four). There is no charge to replace a lost back tag."

erussell Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) It also kinda defeats the purpose of wearing it on your back. Theres no way anyone can read the numbers on it from a distance, it will probably blend right in with your camo! You already can't read them from a distance since they shrunk them 50%. Remember the old back tags you could read them from 100yrds away : ) Edited August 30, 2011 by erussell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covert Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Backtag? What's a backtag? That's one of the beautiful things about the NZ is we don't need to wear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erussell Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 That's because in the Hinter land, They can't count well and 112345678 is a big number so they just gave up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) actually we in the north do not have to wear it is just the opposite, and it shows on the site. I do not see the nz guys complaining about tresspassers illegal crap and acting all geedy. It is so you can pick out all the illegal guys and identify them. I wonder how many tags get read with the aid of a scope. Makes me glad mine is in my pack. I think if I were close enough to read that little number, I could just about shake the hand of the guy wearing it.

Rev Ev Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I gotta say, that when I saw brown too, I thought some desk jockey made that decision because it sure wasn't someone who spends their times in the woods in fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballbusta Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I have never seen the reasoning behind making flashlights or knives in camo either you could never find them once you put them down or drop them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) I would like to see the person who has eyes that could read the old tags from 100 yards with the naked eye. You guys need to spend more time hunting and less time reading back tags through scopes. Everyone would have more fun. And actually blue is not a color to wear when turkey hunting either.
