Deer hunters face new rules
AUSTIN — As you come upon
that freshly killed buck this fall,
the adrenaline still flowing, some-
thing as simple as filling out a deer
tag can become quite confusing.
At least, that's what Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department game
wardens have observed in the past.
"Under the old system the vari-
ous tags could be confusing," said
David Sinclair, TPWD law en-
forcement chief of wildlife en-
forcement. i"One tag was for a
one-buck county in the West zone
or a three buck county and one
was for a one-buck county in tjie
East zone or a two or three-buck
county so it was confusing to
know which was the right tag."
Hunters will notice the 2002-03
hunting license has been simpli-
fied and includes five generic
white-tailed deer tags -'three can
be used to tag a buck or antlerless
deer and two arc antlerless only.
"Now, in addition to filling out a
generic carcass tag, the hunter will
complete the harvest log on the
back of the license," Sinclair said.
"That’s where we look to sec if the
hunter is in compliance with
county bag limits and harvest re-
strictions."
Hunters should also be aware of
the documentation requirements
for a harvested animal that leaves
their possession prior to reaching
its final destination such as a meat
processor or taxidermist.
According to Sinclair, it is legal
to give, leave, receive, or possess
any species of legally taken wild-
life resource, or part of the re-
source, that is required to have a
tag or permit attached or that is
protected by a bag or possession
limit if the wildlife resource is
accompanied by a wildlife re-
source document from the person
who killed or caught it.
No wildlife resource document
is required when the entire carcass
of a deer (including head, which
may be skinned or unskinned) or
antelope (including head, which
must be unskinned) is given to, or
transported by another person if
the tag from the hunter's license
and other required permits or the
pronghorn permit remains attached
until the carcass reaches its final
destination and is finally proc-
essed.
An example of a wildlife re-
source document can be found in
the Outdoor Annual of hunting
and fishing regulations available
where hunting licenses are sold or
on line at
(http u u \y Ip Ail -..t" ).
"Hunters will take an animal to
a taxidermist and are not sure
where the tag should stay, with the
meat or the antlers," said Sinclair.
"Keep in mind the tag always
stays with the carcass, so if you
leave the antlers and cape only,
then you have to leave a Wildlife
Resource Document and get a
statement from the taxidermist
declaring proof of sex to accom-
pany the carcass."
Also new this year is the elimi-
nation of a requirement that an
unskinned head must accompany a
carcass as proof of sex. Hunters
can go ahead and preserve a cape
in camp for taxidermy purposes as
long as the head (skinned or un-
skinned) with antlers attached is
present with the carcass and other
taggjpg and dppiyncntatiop re-
quirements have been satisfied. •'
