TAGGING, TURKEY, DEER, BEAR

Sec. (1) A person who takes a turkey in an open season shall immediately attach the tag to the carcass by adhering the adhesive surfaces together in such a manner around a leg on the carcass to prevent removal. The tag shall remain attached to the carcass until prepared for consumption.

Any tag attached to the carcass that is not adhered or any tag attached to the carcass that is altered in any manner shall be prima facie evidence that the animal is not tagged.

If an individual has purchased more than one license a turkey will be tagged only with the tag bearing the number corresponding with the latest issued license or certificate. The use of any previously issued tags will constitute prima facie evidence that the animal is not tagged.

Sec. 2b A person who takes a deer in an open season shall immediately affix the locking tag securely to the deer by locking the tag through the hock or gambrel joint in such a manner to prevent removal. The tag shall remain on the carcass during possession and transportation until the deer is cut up for consumption.

Any tag attached to the carcass that is not locked or any tag attached to the carcass that is altered in any manner shall be prima facie evidence that the animal is not tagged.

If an individual has purchased more than one license a deer will be tagged only with the tag bearing the number corresponding with the latest issued license or certificate. The use of any previously issued tags will constitute prima facie evidence that the animal is not tagged.

A person holding a permanent license as defined by Section 4255(b) or a person holding a paraplegic license as defined by Section 4276 shall immediately detach the deer tag from their license and affix the tag securely to the deer where it shall remain during transportation and possession and until such time as the deer is cut up for consumption.
