NH requires you to tag your bird right after the kill. You have 24 hours to register it though.

Tn, yes but we can check them in, online  :z-guntootsmiley:.

Alabama only requires me to check it for a beard before I pull the trigger.  Do have to record it on a piece of paper and keep that paper on me but the paper goes in the trash at the end of the season.

Maine you have to tag it at the kill site, and then pay $5 to register it at a check-in.

Nope, Only has to have a 6" or longer beard....

in Alabama we just gotta write it down, unless your hunting on ft rucker, then you gotta bring it by a station on base and they have to check it. but their just making sure your punching your tag. you tell em you got one in the truck, they just say ok and ask to see were you punched it...

yes here in tn. if you dont check them in how do they inforce baglimits? sounds like a poachers dream just like the telecheck

Cheaters are gonna cheat regardless of the regulations IMHO...
that is true but no use in making it a cake walk for them jmho

They are still suppose to notch the tag before they move the animal.  When we had tags that we had to remove they would just keep there license close by to where if they saw someone or got pulled over they could tear it fast.  Hard to beat a crook

Here in Washington State we have to notch the tag upon harvest attach to bird and have a gender identifying piece of bird (head) attached to carcass for transport. We also have to report to the harvest to the WDFW with our wild game ID#  (on line or by phone) or we get charged an additional $10.00 when we get our tags the next year.

In MO you have to tag the turkey and then call the MDC check-in hotline. They ask for county of kill, if it's an adult gobbler, juvenile gobbler or bearded hen, if spurs are over an inch and if the beard is 6 inches in length or longer. God bless.

As Bo whoop said here in Md we have a call in or computer check system..

we have to tag the bird, but the state does not really give us tags per say, they put some in the hunters guide that you can use, or you can make your own tags as long as the proper info is on them.

You do however have to fill out a harvest record before you move the bird from p[lace of kill...

DE deosnt even require tagging of birds, but they do require a check in, then they give you a metal band to go around the turkeys leg to transport....

I think it is crazy not to check birds, not for the outlaw standpoint, but for a management standpoint.. how does a state know how many turkeys are being killed, if you dont have to check them in?
