Reporting your kill to DEC.

[Dave]

If you look close you can see the tag zip tied to the ear.Tag went on as soon as I got to my car.I just wanted to show that some pictures do have tags on the deer.

Congrats, I have the same bow.

I make sure the Tag is tucked in the ear real good when transporting .

Wll thats a nice deer but that pic got put up after all the statements got made about deer not having tages on em..And the back of the tag says to fill it and and tag the deer as soon as you recover it..not when you get home..you can get a ticket for that..

To clear up any confusion here is what it says right out of the syllabus.

Tagging

Heres what you must do immediately upon killinga deer or bear.

1. Fill in ALL information on the CORRECT carcass tag with ink that wont erase.

2. On the reverse side of the tag, cut out or mark BOTH the month and the date of kill in the margin of the tag. Also, add your SIGNATURE.

3. Once filled in, the tag may not be altered.

4. Find the CORRECT DOC # on the report panel and add the date of kill. Save this panel as you will need it later when you report your harvest.

5. You do not need to attach the tag to your harvest while it is being dragged or physically carried from place of kill to a camp or a point where transportaion is available.

6. Once you get to the camp or vehicle, attach the tag to the carcass imediately.

7. Keep the tag attached to the carcass until it is cut up and prepared for consumption.

8. Remember to REPORT your harvest.

Thanks for the posts I always struggle with the regulations on this. I hunt 3 states and all seem to want something different. I usually fill everything out and attach the tag immediately so there is no question. I have had a deer that I lost the tag on the drag out. I found it in the leaves after alot of time and sweat was wasted!
