tags must be "in your possession"?

[SCswampCAT]

What do we have to do to get this changed. I agree they also need to be wider like the Midwest tags.

We have to "peacefully" protest...

[Bownut]

The real fuking question is can I put my tags around the base of a gooduns horn like they do in the BADASS western states... or do I have to put them on their back leg, cause that gay.

Yeah, but they put them on with electrical tape and these folks don't even want to carry the tag, much less a roll of tape.

If there is a big bloody doe without a tag on it in my camp and the warden stops me on the way back from the stand, he's going to charge me with possession of an untagged deer, even though it's not "on my person".

If the warden finds a dozen dead ducks in your boat even though you are standing 200 yards away, you're going to be charged with possession of ducks over the limit.

In court it still has to been proven you had possession of legal game, dope, gun, etc at one time. If stopped without hunting license or tags in possession you are guilty. You can leave your driver license, cwp registration and proof of insurance at home but if pulled they are not in your possession.

By that logic they would have to prove I was deer hunting and actually needed the tags in the first place.

[Bigtimber2]

Yeah, that would be diffcult.

I'm sure it wouldn't be, but in order for you to be found guilty of not being in possession of something, it's only logical that the government must first define what constitutes possession of said item. Yes, I realize I just used logical and government in the same sentence.

Ok I have a new question. We have buck and doe tags for the club, so I cant use my tags on the club. Do I still need to carry my tags when hunting on the club?

NO

[PBiz]

Do club tags look different than personal tags?

Asking for a friend..

[JayhawkLee]

We need tags for deer huntin'? WTH? Since when?

True, especially if you carry around that 7MM mag for personal protection while bird watching in the woods in Camo with a blaze orange hat.
Makes perfect sense.

[Cottontop74]

I have them in my hunting bag. That easy.

I bet that's a purdy manpurse you have.

" **** had DNR check him last week and DNR gave him a written warning for not having his tags (buck and doe) on his person. "

Ever heard of hog hunting?

[Phone Man]

I deer hunt naked with a pointed stick, where am I supposed to keep my tags?

They call it "keistering" in prison. I bet the game warden will simply take your word for it the next time you get checked.

Having watched cops a few times, I am pretty sure that in my car is in my possession.

The law does not say in your possession, it says on your person.
