Just for comparison, this is the Ohio DNR's info for tagging and reporting deer.

Hunters make their own tag. You can print one from the DNR site or make it from a plate of ivory engraved with gold, but you also must call in to report and get a confirmation number. It's very simple.


STEP 1: Every person who kills a deer or turkey must immediately:
Make a game tag with the hunter’s name, date, time and county of kill.
Attach the completed game tag to the deer at the place where it fell.
Fill in the deer permit with date, time and county of kill.

Once finished with Step 1, the hunter legally possesses the deer or turkey and is free to transport it.


STEP 2: For deer, the hunter must complete the game check and tagging process by 12 p.m. (noon) the day after the kill. If the deer is killed on the last day of a season, it must be checked in by 11:30 p.m. on the day of kill. For turkey, the hunter must complete the game check and tagging process by 11:30 p.m. on the same day the turkey was killed.
