Does your state require you check your bird?

For Michigan, nope. They do a survey at the end of the season, but not mandatory.

Yes in AR.  You have to put a tag on the bird, before moving.  Then you have 24 hrs to check it in online or by phone.

Wow, every state is so different. Going to the checking station is a fun way of showing off your bird too. In Tn, they print you off a new tag everytime you check something in and they record all the data and it goes directly into the TWRA database. In my county in 09 we took 643 birds. Region II recored almost 11000 birds. The state total was 30074 birds tagged in 09. That only accounts for the legal ethical hunters but we still have an abundance of birds.

CA doesn't even have tags for turkeys much less make you check your turkeys in. It's all on the honor system.

I'd support a tag system here in CA if the money went to the turkey fund, but unfortunately it wouldn't....................

Sucks too because there are dishonest "hunters" out there shooting more than their alloted 3 per season. >:(

Minnesota -  you have to tag them on site and note the date, and then register them.  They just added phone in registration, so that's more convenient.

Wisconsin - you have to tag them on site and note the date, and you have to physically register them and get it banded.

South Dakota - taking my first trip this year, I don't know!

All of the tools, some of the skills!

Alabama's harvest report system has already been mentioned.  It is insufficient.  I wish we had an actual tagging system.  Don't care whether it's telecheck, internet or check stations for checking the birds, but I want a tag per bird.  A copier will work wonders to multiply that 5 into 10 or 15 or 20.

In Washington we have to put a tag on the bird and then we have to report the kill to the game department within 10 days.  I do it on-line, but I believe you can also do it over the phone.

In Idaho, we tag the bird and they send us a survey after the season is over.

Check in not required in the states I hunt -  WY, NE, KS but of course they must be tagged.  :icon_thumright:

No tags no check-in here in Alabama. 5 Bird limit on the "honor" system. I would really like to see them go on some kind of tag system



Rodd Gunn

In Pennsylvania - no. Only tag it at the spot of the kill.
