[QUOTE="Triggernosis, post: 144644, member: 7153"] roe, Yes, here in the U.S. most, if not all, states require a hunter to have "tags" for each species of big game (including wild turkey) that they intend to hunt. The number of tags issued depends upon the state and local animal populations. Here in North Carolina, we are issued 6 tags for whitetail deer, 2 for wild boar, 2 for turkey, 1 for bear, etc. - they are issued to resident hunters at the beginning of the season and no additional tags can be purchased. Other states are different and you can purchase additional tags during the season, depending upon how the statewide harvest is going. The term "tags" arises from the practice of actually affixing a paper (or Tyvek) tag to the animal's antler or ear upon harvest, noting the date the animal was taken. Here in North Carolina, you used to have to do this before the animal was moved from the site of the kill - now we're allowed to mark the tag in the field and report the kill via the internet after we return home from the hunt - it's no longer required that we actually affix the tag to the animal (at least for deer - I'm not sure about the other species - I don't think it matters as long as the tag is marked).
