As big game seasons begin to open up, we wanted to share a few important reminders regarding big game licenses and transporting your animal.

A few reminders about tagging and transportation:

• The big game license is the white strip on the top, this is not a transportation tag, and the big game tag, which is required for transportation, is the red/blue/green/yellow/pink portion on the bottom which is affixed to the animal;
• Hunters transporting big game must have the tagged leg/antler with the meat, along with the head or attached s*x organs, unless the head is dropped off at a CWD check station and has the corresponding tag;
• Hunters who have tags for any deer/elk/antelope do not need to take that animals head or attached s*x organs for transport. Antlerless and buck only tag holders must make sure they have either the head or the attached s*x organs;
• It is illegal to transport any part of a big game animal from the field without the animal properly tagged or without a transportation permit;
• If a person other than the licensee transports big game animal parts (including b***d out meat) the tagged leg or a transportation permit must accompany the items transported;
• Some common transportation violations Conservation Officers encounter are transporting the head/antlers without a tag, transporting b***d out meat without a tag and not having the head or appropriate s*x organs for transportation;
• Conservation Officers will be conducting road checks this fall to ensure that hunters are staying within their limits, transporting game and fish in a legal manner.

Good luck, be safe, and we hope you have a fantastic hunting season!
