I see nothing that says a copy of a tag is valid. It says the "notched tag" must be attached to the carcass. NOT a "copy" of the notched tag. I would like to see what would happen if a game warden were to check an animal hanging in a camp with just a copy of a tag attached.   :chuckle:

That's an easy one, Bob. You get a COPY of the ticket. :chuckle:

I would like to know the ruling on this, not just all of our opinions. What bob33 states is "the notched tag must remain with the edible parts" others have said that a copy should be with it. So what is the right answer. It is a serious scenario, not a what if I take my burger to wendy's like joked about. I have some meat here that I cut and wrap myself and some goes to the bucher for peperoni. I have always kept my tag with my cuts in the freezer. The butcher just takes my info. I would hate to have a warden stop in the butcher and write him and I a fine. Skinnyman posted the "tag must stay with the largest portion". So which interpretation is more correct, does the actual tag go to butcher like our butcher on here says has to happen, or do we give the butcher a copy and hope that works?

Ok after being on the phone with fish and wildlife for 26 minutes here is what I found out. If you kill a deer and bring it home the tag stays with the mat while you process it. Then when you are ready to take your meat to the butcher the tag goes with that meat. It does not matter what portions are bigger wether it be in your freezer or going to the butcher the tag goes to the butcher. You are transporting meat then and therfore the tag goes with the meat being transported.

if any more questions you may call 360-902-2200 wait for ten minutes and then get transferred to the wildlife dept wait for 7 minutes then get transferred to enforcement make sure you push 0, if not it sends you back to wildlife and you wait another 7 minutes.

No duplicate tags are supposed to be made.

Have a nice day.

Thank you for taking the time to clarify. So to make it clear as mud, dont follow what the game book says, follow what Olympia says. You should have requested it in writing.  :chuckle: If by chance they do check your freezer I guess you can tell them if that want to see your tag go the butcher.

Well, I guess I have always done it the right way then. When I take my "scraps" to a meat shop to be ground up or made into sausage/pepperoni, I always have the tag with me. But as I said before, NEVER has the meat shop wanted to keep the tag or even look at it. And again, I don't see that as my problem. If a game warden happens to show up at the meat shop and determines they have deer/elk meat with no tag, and IF that is in violation of the law, then that business will get the fine, not me.

Just so we don't get in trouble, we make 125 copies of our hunting license and tag, attach a copy to each steak we cut and each sausage we make. We also fill out a game transport card for each bite of steak so that anyone who eats it at our house is good to go home and they will not get in trouble carrying the steak in their stomach. We also hire a team of lawyers to go hunting with us, stay with us, and travel with us to the range or woods so that we are compliant, yet if we make contact with a gamie, we issue a statement from our legal team. Oops, forgot to add that we have a camera crew video document everything we do to protect us from prosecution. We also donate heavily to the party in office at the time, and make a reasonable giving at church.

to be safe you should just plant taters and onions in the woods and shoot your deer where you plant. besides, then all you have to pack into the woods is salt and pepper.

Yes.  Make sure the tag is attached to the largest part of the onion.
