TAGGING
Immediately after a turkey is taken, the hunter must punch or notch the permit tag showing the date the bird
was taken. This automatically cancels the permit tag. This permit must be kept with the permit holder and/
or turkey at all times. When the turkey is not with the permit holder, the entire permit must be attached to
the turkey. The mobile turkey permit allows a hunter to cancel the permit once a turkey is harvested. If a
hunter has a mobile permit, a turkey may be left unaccompanied by the hunter only if a document bearing the
hunter's name, permit number and time and date of permit cancellation is kept with the carcass.
POSSESSION
Only the successful permit holder may possess all or part of a turkey. Anyone may receive as a gift any part
of the turkey if a statement of such gift is available to inspect. The statement must include: hunter's name,
telephone number and permit number; species and quantity of each; donor's signature; recipient's name; and
date of transfer.
TRANSPORTATION
It is unlawful to possess any turkey unless the legs, thighs, and breast remain together until the bird is
consumed or the bird arrives at the permanent abode of the possessor. The breast meat may be removed from
the bone but must remain as two entire halves. Birds taken in the spring must have proof of sex consisting of:
1) the legs with spurs naturally attached;
2) the beard naturally attached to the breast; or
3) the detached beard with at least ΒΌ-inch of skin remaining at the attachment site and kept together
with the leg, thighs and breast.
