Rule 571-106.13 - Transportation tag

(1)Use of transportation tag. A transportation tag bearing the license number of the licensee, year of issuance, and date of kill properly shown shall be visibly attached to one leg of each antlerless deer or on the main beam between two points, if present, on one of the antlers of an antlered deer in such a manner that the tag cannot be removed without mutilating or destroying the tag. This tag shall be attached to the carcass of the deer within 15 minutes of the time the deer carcass is located after being taken or before the carcass is moved to be transported by any means from the place where the deer was taken, whichever occurs first. No person shall tag a deer with a transportation tag issued to another person or with a tag that was purchased after the deer was taken. This tag shall be proof of possession and shall remain affixed to the carcass until such time as the animal is processed for consumption. The head, and antlers if any, shall remain attached to the deer while being transported by any means whatsoever from the place where taken to the processor or commercial preservation facility or until the deer has been processed for consumption. The hunter who killed the deer must tag the deer using the transportation tag issued in that person's name unless lawfully party hunting.

(2)Party hunting.

a.Resident party hunting. During the first and second regular gun seasons and the January antlerless-deer-only seasons, any resident hunter present in the hunting party may use their tag on a deer harvested by another resident.

b.Nonresident party hunting. Party hunting is not allowed by nonresidents.
