Things to remember before tagging and checking:
Use the correct permit. Check your permit carefully before attaching the transportation tag when you are carrying more than one permit. In the excitement of the hunt, sometimes hunters accidentally put their any-deer permit on a doe, thus stopping them from taking a buck later on in the season. Remember: Removing a transportation tag from a permit will invalidate that permit.
Until checked, the head of the deer must remain attached and turkey must have the head and plumage intact.
Detaching the transportation tag invalidates the permit, so do not detach until immediately after harvest.
The transportation tag and permit with confirmation number must remain attached to the game until processing for consumption begins.
All deer and turkey must be checked before they are removed from the state.
Deer and turkey must be checked by 10 p.m. on the day the game is harvested.
Only the taker may possess and transport deer and turkeys before checking.
After checking, deer and turkey may be possessed and transported by anyone, but must be labeled with the taker’s full name, address, Telecheck confirmation number and date taken.
Avoid duplicate Telecheck records. If you are given an eight-digit confirmation number when you call Telecheck, your checking information has been successfully received and recorded. Write the confirmation number on the permit, attach the permit to the game and the checking process is complete. Do not call again to check the same deer or turkey.
To check a deer or turkey, call 1-800-314-6828.
