040-59 Wyo. Code R. §§ 59-3 - Game Tags

A tanner shall immediately affix a game tag and complete a Wyoming interstate game tag affidavit for each game specimen received by the tannery regardless of the place of origin, except as otherwise provided by this Section.

(a) A tanner is not required to affix a game tag to game specimens harvested outside the State of Wyoming if the specimens are tagged with a self-locking type tag in the state or country of origin.

(b) A tanner is not required to affix a game tag to game specimens from within Wyoming that already have a game tag affixed.

(c) A tanner is not required to affix a game tag to any hides or capes from any cloven hoof big game animals that the tanner receives, purchases, stores, handles, ships, sells, transports and delivers if records are maintained in accordance with Section 4 of this regulation.

(d) All game specimens, except as otherwise provided in subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this section shall be accompanied by the game tag, or self-locking tag from another state or country of origin. A tanner may temporarily remove any tag from a game specimen or bobcat raw fur to accommodate processing, provided the hide or bobcat raw fur is marked in such a manner that it can be readily identified. If a tag is temporarily removed to accommodate the processing of the game specimen or bobcat raw fur, it shall be kept with the work order or invoice for the game specimen or bobcat raw fur. If the tanner is not able to reattach the original tag(s) to the game specimen, the tanner shall lock the game tag or other tag and shall insure the game tag or other tag accompanies the work order or invoice and the game specimen. When the game specimen is returned to the customer, it shall be accompanied by the game tag and affidavit.

(e) A tanner shall not accept a bobcat raw fur that does not have a Wyoming bobcat tag affixed to the pelt or an export tag issued by another state.
