First off, If a person leaves their license/ harvest record at home now under today's law they would legally have to go get it before putting the deer in their truck or face fines when they get pulled over. So that argument is kind of silly. That rule applies now without tags. Tags are usually attached to license/ harvest record. So if you have your license with you , you have your tags.

Im pretty sure you get a ticket if you don't have your license or harvest record with you while in the stand. And secondly how would you propose use that have life time licenses to get these tags. As states above if we cant control the outlaws from killing deer illegal now a tag system will not help.



You present your lifetime license at any store where licenses are sold and they give you, your harvest record/tags. Or call in and present your number and tags will be mailed to you.

To your second point. I am not naive enough to think it will stop all outlaws. But there is a large number of guys that wouldnt take that extra deer or fifty if they knew the wardens were looking for tags. Right now there is no risk of getting caught once you go over the limit because you can print however many copies you want. With a tag system, once you use all your tags, if you have a deer in your truck you are running a BIG risk of getting caught. Can't stop them all but does that mean we shouldn't try?


So would you want to make it illegal for those of us who clean our deer on the property? Because if you don't then those folks would most likely get away with it because not all game wardens set at processing places to check harvest records.


Yes, if you clean the deer in place you would "get away with it".

It's not about "getting away with it", it's about a system to keep people honest
