Show Be Sure to Tag Big Game Animal, Board Advises Be certain that you tag your big game animal at the time of kill. This reminder was issued this week by the Utah Department Depart-ment of Fish and Game as the major big game hunting seasons neared. Spokesmen ssaid that violations viola-tions of the tagging law make up a major portion of the fish and game violations ever year. The following information was listed for hunters to remember when they go afield this year. Have with you at all times the regular hunting license, the special spe-cial permit for any such hunt you may take part in, and proper tags for the hunt. At the time of kill, detach the tag from the special permit or the tag stub when using the regular reg-ular tag. Then, using an arrowhead, arrow-head, pencil or bullet, bunch out the appropriate spaces, indicating indicat-ing the month and day of the kill and the physical description of the animal. Finally, tie the tag securely to the animal. Be sure the tag is securely attached before moving the animal from the place of kill. It is unlawful to transport any big game animal at any time if the animal is not tagged. This includes transportation by foot, horseback or any other means, as well as possession in camp, on the road, or at home. The tag must accompany the animal to the locker, or wherever wher-ever it is processed, and remain with the meat until it is completely com-pletely used. Department officials further cautioned hunters to take care that big game tags do not become be-come detached from the permits or tag stubs before a kill is made. Tags detached from permits per-mits or tag stubs, will automatically automati-cally be considered invalid, department de-partment spokesmen concluded. |
