INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF MOBILE TURKEY PERMITS
Turkey permits can be purchased, accessed or displayed on a mobile device. A mobile permit image
can be displayed and saved on a phone or tablet. This permit fulfills the requirement of carrying a
permit while eliminating the need to carry a paper version. The mobile version of the turkey permit also
allows the permit holder the option to cancel that permit once a turkey is harvested. Internet service is
required to access a mobile permit or the mobile site.
• It shall be unlawful to fail to electronically cancel a mobile permit immediately after the kill.
• When lack of connectivity between the hunter's mobile device and the Commission's permit
system prevents immediate electronic cancellation, the hunter immediately must document his or
her name, permit number, time and date of kill; such documentation must be kept with the carcass
until the permit is cancelled electronically. Under these circumstances, the hunter must cancel his
or her permit electronically immediately upon acquiring connectivity and no later than 12 hours
after the time of kill.
• A turkey harvested under the authority of a mobile permit must be accompanied by the hunter
with a mobile device upon which the cancelled permit can be displayed until such time as the
turkey arrives at the hunter's place of residence or a commercial preservation facility.
• The 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.
