Where to Attach Tags

Remember that tags are your authority to possess game. They must be attached as soon as you have killed your animal and remain attached until it is consumed or processed. Tags cannot be reused.

 

Residents are issued one tag for every animal they intend to hunt.  This tag must be attached to the carcass of any big game killed except muskox, bear, wolf and wolverine. For these four species, the tag must be attached to the hide.

Non-residents and non-resident aliens are issued two identically numbered tags for each animal they intend to hunt. One tag must be attached to the carcass and the other to the horns, antlers, head or cape. However, for muskox, bear, wolf and wolverine only one tag is issued and must be attached to the hide of the animal they kill.

Anyone who shoots a Dall’s Sheep must, as soon as possible, take the head to a Renewable Resource Officer to have a plug inserted into the horns. Anyone who shoots a Wood Bison must, as soon as possible, take the head to a Renewable Resource Officer to have the horns branded.
