Take a knife and make a two inch slice in the hide of the deer's leg. Then take the knife or your fingers and make a pocket in between the meat and the hide. Put your tag in there. No blood and it will never come out until you take it out.

Does Indiana stipulate where the tag has to be on the deer? i.e. affixed around the horn or around the leg bone?

Does Indiana stipulate where the tag has to be on the deer? i.e. affixed around the horn or around the leg bone? Tagging Requirements Immediately upon killing a deer, the hunter must complete a temporary tag on paper that states the hunter’s name, address, sex of the deer, license number (if applicable) of the individual who took the deer, and the day and month of the kill. A hunter is not required to place the tag on the deer while dragging it out of the field as long as the hunter has filled out and is carrying the required information. A hunter must maintain immediate custody of and visual contact with the deer carcass unless the completed temporary transportation tag is attached. The tag must be attached to the deer before the hunter leaves the deer or loads the deer in a vehicle. Did you know DNR has this whole web site set up where you can read the regulations? They even publish these book things they give away free. |

Did you know this is a web forum consisting of guys and gals that enjoy the outdoors where we feel comfortable asking each other questions and otherwise discussing things?

Thanks to all who made meaningful suggestions. Always good to see what others are doing and we all need to learn new and improved ways of doing things.

I asked because I wasn't sure if I was putting it on right and didn't have time to research it. Nobody at the check station every complained, both here and in Wisconsin, so I guess I'm O.K.
What I will do is get a mylar envelope from the post office. There is a lot of white, so cutting it into a smaller rectangle, writing all the pertinent information on it before hitting the field and leaving blank spaces to fill in out in the field. Mylar won't tear. I use a small plastic zip tie, make a small slit in the ear, a small slit in the tag and put the tag inside the ear, and run the zip tie thru the tag and ear, and sorta fold the ear over while I pull the zip tie snug. Tag stays inside the ear during transport and the zip tie is cut at the check station (well was, I do it electronically now). The tag wouldn't get torn off in the brush/weeds, and rarely did the head get bloody. The folded over ear protected it, and with the tag being mylar, it wouldn't tear. I would use a black sharpie to write the information on the tag - won't smear if it gets wet.

Side tracking slightly, but when you buy a license on line it only utilizes a small portion of the sheet of paper. Why in the heck doesn't some whizz at the DNR utilize the remainder of that space to make some carcass tags? Some of the homemade tags you see are pretty illegible. They used to print a transportation tag in the Hunting Guide, not sure when they stopped that. However, they still provide them to print on their website: www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/files/tempdeer.pdf |

Anything else would probably leave it up the CO's discretion. If it were me, I'd play it safe. |
