Early season which tag?

[angelo]

Hi, question from an occasional lurker. 

If lucky enough to get a bear in early season do you tag it with tag from last year or do you use this years tag?  

Thanks

Tags are good from September 1st till August 31st of the following year. So I would say this year!

Agreed. It depends on the date you harvest the animal.

Thanks for the reply

Store where I bought licence told me last years license is valid till Oct 1st and thats the tag to use 

I can't find anything in the regs. to verify either way.

Anyone know where this is actually written?

Thanks again

It says valid sept 1st-August 31st. What the person was refering too was the first year they had an early bear season in the southern tier
