Wow, you must be old.... :chuckle:
As far back as I can remember we have been notching tags...

How many years has it been since you have had to start notching your tag on the Month and Date?
Hey focht22.......what year did you think we started notching tags? :dunno:

Actually that's a good ticket, sorry no excuse for that one.:yeah:
You would be surprised at how many people don't notch their tag but still attach it to the animal and reuse the tag later in the season. I have a cousin that was busted for it. The WDFW officer randomly stopped him to check to see if all of his documentation was correct and noticed that the tag looked worn and had dried blood on it.

ICEMAN, wasn't sure when it started, my brother a got a ticket from the game warden for not notching it right after he took it down. We had just dragged it up the cayon 400 yards and set it on the truck to take pictures. We were getting ready to notch tag then the game warden came and issued him the ticket, we really had just got to the top of the canyon where my truck was parked. It was his first deer and with all the excitment he had forgot to do it right away. Thought that it was sort of harsh. He had his tag on there the whole time we were dragging the deer out. We are very ethical hunters and explained to him to it was just an honest mistake. It was a 152.00 ticket and he told us that he could have gave him an 360.00 ticket. Thought a warning might have been nice.
There are three things you can get a ticket for regarding tagging:
1- Failure to Tag
2- Failure to Notch Tag - Intentional (Had no intention of tagging the animal)
3- Failure to Notch Tag - Inadvertant (Basically a "oh *censored* I forgot to tag it")
The fine for 1&2 are the same and are $361. The fine for 3 is $152.

We always notch them and tie them onto the horns or a leg with plastic wire ties( panduits).
