New Tag format Next Year ?

[MikePal]

If its a simple copy of a printed tag from a home copier,how copy proof could it be.I would want at least a few copies just in case one got wet and fell apart or otherwise illegible.Right now the license and tag are pretty robust so I don,t have that worry.Can,t figure out why we cannot just keep this system we have.Giving time to notch the tag looks like opening another loophole.

Gilroy...go back and read the thread...you missed a whole lot of information and now your embarrassing yourself, but that's nothing new eh ? ..LOL..

You haven't been reading the posts have you now.......there is no more notching...there is no need for anything paper..just need the one with your deer registration number on it in your pocket if you are still with the deer. Toss it out once you call in and register your deer.

On the previous posts I read it was stated an animal hanging on a pole outside camp would still need to be notched with the date and time killed.

I guess it is happening..

Well, this is from one of your post " Hunters will still be required to fill out the tag (i.e. notch as they have in the past) at the point and time of harvest" so now you are saying there is not more notching?
Are you reading your own post?!

From the sound of it all you have to do is throw that piece of paper you've printed out, with the deer registration number on it, into a zip lock bag and leave it with the deer if you not there...

"Yes, you will still be required to notch your seal as before". You just don’t need to attach it if you are in constant possession. BC is the same, tags come in a booklet. As soon as you kill that animal, you must “cut” your tag.
As far as multiple copies of seals, I’m sure they have addressed that in the programming.

Thank you seabast......LOL


Maybe you need to read your own posts and take your own advice.You manage to contradict yourself within a few posts.

Thank you Mike.

All this reporting by phone sounds real good IF you don,t have spotty cell reception,for others a nightmare.

some exerts from the FAQ..this is Wisconsin's tag system. so may not be the same as ours, but I suspect it will be similar..

What has changed with deer tag requirements?
Deer tag rules no longer require the hunter to:
- validate the tag in any way to indicate that it has been used
- attach a tag to the deer
- keep a copy of the tag with the meat until consumed

If not required, why would I want to print my tags anyway?
Deer tags still contain important information. Most important is the tag number which is needed to fulfill the important requirement of registering your deer. The tag also tells you what type of deer (buck or antlerless) that you have authorization to harvest, and where your authorization (zone, DMU, land type) is valid. It also contains information on registering the deer (call-in number or web address). Printing your tags and using them like harvest coupons not only provides all of this information, but is also a good way of keeping track of what and where you can harvest a deer. Once used, throw the tag away as a way of letting yourself know you’ve used that privilege.

Can I leave my untagged deer with a friend or allow someone else to transport it?
Yes, there is no longer a requirement to attach a carcass tag, even when leaving an animal with another person. When possessing the deer of others, such as the last person at a deer camp who will be bringing home several deer for others, having a printed copy of the carcass tag/confirmation number corresponding to each animal will assist wardens with ensuring compliance with the bag and possession limit regulations.

Since tagging is no longer required, what should I do if I have to leave my deer in the field while I get my truck?
No special action is required. As long as the deer is harvested under one of your unused deer tags, you can leave the carcass in the field without attaching a tag or registering the deer.

How do the new deer tag rules apply to group hunting?
No changes have been made to group hunting rules. At least one member of the hunting party must have proof of an unfilled deer tag in the area where the hunt is taking place, and be willing to use that tag number to register a deer bagged by another member of the group.

I guess if the CO's phone doesn't work either he'll give you some leeway...LOL..

Your right seabast I did oversee that...I appears that the MNR plans to keep and incorporate the notch function
on the tags were as Wisconsin dropped it when they switched.

Not doubt there will be more differences, I posted the Wisconsin links to give a basic idea how the paperless system works...I imagine every state that is using this new system will have specific/unique requirements.

Well, lots of “supposin’”....we won’t know until the MNRF formally notify hunters and implement the new system.
