2007-08 Game Tags

Hunting licenses expire June 30 each year. The annual big game license has eight tags attached to it. Four tags are for the 2007-08 deer season, two for fall 2007 turkey season and two for spring 2008 turkey season. Other hunting licenses have an appropriate number of tags depending on harvest limits connected specifically to the license.

Hunters who hold the 65 Plus Lifetime License or the Disabled License, hunters under 16 and Mississippi license holders hunting under the Reciprocal Hunting License Agreement must either use tags printed from the website or found in the 2007-08 Hunting Guidebook or substitute a piece of paper displaying information about each harvested deer or turkey. A supply of tags will be mailed to holders of the $1,000 Lifetime Sportsman’s License. Tags must be securely fastened and remain on deer or turkeys until final processing and storage.

For complete instructions on properly tagging game, see Page 39 of the 2007-08 Hunting Guidebook.
