ronk Report post Posted August 4, 2020 If you have PointGuard and get a deer with OTC archery, can you still surrender your rifle deer tag and get your points back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creed Report post Posted August 4, 2020 Why not? It was purchased for that particular hunt not an OTC. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ronk Report post Posted August 4, 2020 okay, that is what I thought but I have never used PointGuard and wasn't sure if G&F asks questions during the surrender process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can DL the form online and simply mail it and the permit to the AGFD office to get your points back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edge Report post Posted August 4, 2020 If you're surrendering your tag can't you donate it to a deserving vet via AES? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outdoor Writer Report post Posted August 4, 2020 10 minutes ago, Edge said: If you're surrendering your tag can't you donate it to a deserving vet via AES? Yup. He can do that too using the same form. It just has to be an approved organization with verification. A person who donates, or transfers, his or her hunt permit-tag to a qualified nonprofit organization, also can participate in tag surrender, provided the requirements listed above are fulfilled. An acceptable proof of the transfer must be provided to the department (a receipt from the qualified nonprofit organization, for example). The tag surrender application form and an acceptable proof of the hunt permit-tag being donated must be completed within 60 days of the donation, and no less than 30 days before the next application deadline for that particular species. From the form Was this tag donated to a non-profit organization? Yes No (If Yes, please also provide the “Hunt Permit-Tag Donation Affidavit” - Form 132.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he already killed a deer on the OTC, it makes no difference; he's DONE killing deer for the year. So his choices are eat the tag with no hunting or PG, thus no points or turn it in and get his points back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well if he already got an otc deer this year (Jan) then he shouldn’t have put in for a tag...I was reading it as “if I get an otc deer” implying that he hadn’t yet... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted August 5, 2020 And I should add...I’m in that boat every year without the pointguard. Have to consider whether the OTC buck is worth eating/donating the drawn tag. A velvety coues in archery range in Aug would make that decision easy for me at this point. LoL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right, it's a hypothetical, but I'm guessing he's talking about the archery season AFTER the draw (Aug.), however and not Jan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
