Does your state require you check your bird?

Only birds taken in the eastern half (east of I-35) of Oklahoma are required to be checked according to ODWC policy.  I've been told this is due to the dense population of turkeys in western part of the state.  Just curious what your state game agency practices are.

Nope.  Niether Georgia or Alabama.  Although Alabama requires you write down the date of the kill and county on a piece of paper. ::)

In Wi. they must be registered. In Mi. they do not get registered.
May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

Not just registered in WI but taken to a registration station fill out a card then the person there has to come out and wrap a metal registration tag around its leg....... We need a call in system!!

You have to apply a field tag before moving it from the place you killed it then check it in at a state game check station.

Exactly.  We can take them to a check station, check them online, or telecheck.
