AZGFD Special Meeting

[Str8Shot]

 

 

 

I guess if I played by AZG&F rules I could hunt all week for a good bull but when I have to work on the weekend I could give my tag to my brother to put on that bull I was chasing all week if he happens to get a shot on him while he is hunting for his own bull. What a deal. What does AZG&F call this ? I call it POACHING !

He had a scheduled surgery. I ask you glass house, would you not have done the same? The guys that shot it and used another tag are the "guilty" party.

Wrong. The ONLY tag you can have in your possession is your OWN. In addition, knowingly leaving your OWN tag in the possession of someone else with the knowledge that they're going to finish off an animal for you makes you just as guilty. He CLEARLY knew what he was doing was illegal.

He Did NOT know they were going to have to finish off the animal. Again, if anyone is guilty of a crime its the guy that actually killed the animal and tagged it with a tag other than his own.

 

Have you even read the regulations ? It is illegal to carry the tag of another hunter besides your own ... it is illegal for a hunter to give his tag to another ... Only the Hunter with his or her own tag can tag the animal and then fill out the transportation portion if going to have someone else remove the game. So he did break laws as did the guy who carried his tag, finished off the bull, who then tagged and transported the animal. The only exception is for CHAMP hunters and then there are specific steps to authorize an agent to tag and retrieve game.

 

E. Except as permitted under R12-4-217, an individual shall

not:

1. Allow their tag to be attached to wildlife killed by

another individual,

2. Allow their tag to be possessed by another individual

who is in a hunt area,

3. Attach their tag to wildlife killed by another individual,

4. Attach a tag issued to another individual to wildlife, or

5. Possess a tag issued to another individual while in a

hunt area.

F. Except as permitted under R12-4-217, immediately after an

individual kills wildlife, the individual shall attach the tag to

the wildlife carcass in the following manner:

1. Remove all of the detachable paper covering from the

adhesive back of the tag;

2. Seal the exposed adhesive portions of the tag around

the wildlife so the tag cannot be removed or reused

and all printing on the face of the tag is visible, and

a. For antelope, deer, or elk: seal the tag around the

antler or horn, or through the gambrel of a hind

leg;

b. For bear, bighorn sheep, buffalo, javelina, or

mountain lion: seal the tag through the gambrel

of a hind leg; and

c. For pheasant, sandhill crane, or turkey: seal the

tag around the neck or a leg.

G. An individual who lawfully takes wildlife with a valid tag

and authorizes another individual to possess, transport,

or ship the tagged portion of the carcass shall complete

the Transportation and Shipping Permit portion of the

original tag authorizing the take of that animal.

H. If a tag is sealed or mutilated or the Transportation and

Shipping Permit portion of the tag is signed or filled out,

the tag is no longer valid for the take of wildlife.
