Don't Get Tagged!

• Make sure you use the correct tag when you kill a deer or turkey, or retain an oversize 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.

In the last two years, there have been over 3,700 Parks and Wildlife citations issued for tagging violations with fines up to $500 per violation.

Tagging Fish

Immediately upon retaining a fish:

• Remove tag from license and use entire tag.
• Fill in ALL information spaces on front of tag.
• CUT OUT day and month
• Attach tag with a string or wire to the narrowest part of the tail, just ahead of the tail fin.

Tagging Deer or Turkey

Immediately upon retaining a deer or turkey:

• Remove appropriate tag from license.
• Fill in ALL information (ranch, wildlife area, etc. and county) on back of tag.
• CUT OUT day and month
• Securely attach tag anywhere on deer or turkey so that it is not damaged, defaced or lost in transporting or handling.
• Don't forget to fill out the White-tailed Deer Log (if applicable).
