Any person who kills any of the species identified in this section shall immediately validate the carcass tag by separating a designated portion of the tag or by marking it as designated by the department on the tag.

Carcass tags may be protected from environmental elements in sealed clear plastic bags.
NR 10.085(4)(b)(b) The pelt tag shall be attached to a bobcat or wolf when it is killed and before it is carried by hand or transported in any manner.

NR 10.085(5)(5) Removal and retention. A carcass tag attached as required in this section may be removed from the carcass at the time of butchering or when prepared by a taxidermist, but the person who killed or obtained the animal shall retain all tags until the meat is consumed. The validated carcass tag shall be retained by the person who possesses the carcass until it is consumed. NR 10.085 HistoryHistory: EmR1613: emerg. cr., eff. 3-12-16; EmR1712: emerg. am. (2), (5), r.
