I just helped a buddy put his tag on a nice coues yesterday. The printed ink on the tag was coming off on our hands... totally illegible. Yeah, they are saving money on ink now too... Ed F Same thing happened to me, the tag was in my wallet and the ink was all worn off. I called G&F to get the tag number, etc. and wrote it on with a felt pen. He said it has happened alot.

I blame their supervisor for allowing it to happen over, and over, and over... The supervisors supervisor should fire them all and outsourse to a reputable private company who does not accept failure. Ed F Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This year I wrapped a strip of tape around a lighter which I always have in my pack anyway and threw in a sharpie. Pretty lightweight and straightforward. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stanley Report post Posted January 18 Losing tags, losing lighters, having to wrap tape to 'tag' the animal with E-Tag anyway, etc...... I suspect it is likely that NONE of these nuances came into much consideration in the decision to roll this out. My guess is that it was simply in the spirit of 'modernization' in line with the evolution of the entire world going to "E". Can't stop progress (or perceived progress), guys! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesFanatic Report post Posted January 18 I was against the e-tag thing for a while until I tried it. It's a lot better than the paper tags in a lot of ways. I do have to carry a sharpie with some duct tape wrapped around it for the confirmation number. Never can leave your tag at home anymore! Been down that road a few times. It's pretty dumb I had to drive to a regional office to buy2024 OTC tags that appear on my phone. I literally left the office with just a receipt. It needs to go to buying tags online. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Reed Report post Posted January 18 Seems like the same people who complain about the e-tags also complain about how antiquated AZG&F is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the same time, the evolution to E is inevitable and can/will help with the efficiencies being sought... Same as with any entity (private or public), looking for efficiencies/savings is a perpetual practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
