Tagging and Checking a Bear

Step 1:  After harvesting a bear and before moving it, fill out the game tag provided in the guidebook (insert) in ink. You may substitute a piece of paper for this tag if it includes the hunter’s name, the date and zone number of harvest written legibly in ink.

Step 2:  Call (800) 440-1477 within 24 hours of harvest to check a bear. An AGFC employee will explain how to extract and mail a premolar tooth for aging. 

If you have questions about checking game over the phone or online, call (800) 364-4263 ext. 6430, or e-mail AGFC Information.
