 Don't
Get Tagged!
- Make sure you use the correct tag when you kill a deer
or turkey, or retain an oversized red drum.
- Make sure you immediately cut out the month and day on
the proper license tag.
- Attach proper tag immediately upon killing
a deer or turkey, or retaining oversized red drum. The
tag must remain attached to the game or fish until it reaches
its final destination and is finally
processed.
- Immediately upon killing a white-tailed deer, complete
the White-Tailed Deer Log on the back of your hunting license.
