Using Paper Carcass Tags

Hunting in New York will look a little different this fall. All hunting licenses and carcass tags will now be printed on plain paper. This is a good change as hunters will be able to receive a copy of their license and tags via email and print them at home for immediate access.  Lost or damaged tags can be printed again at home as needed.
With this change, hunters must take new precautions to protect their license and tags so that they remain intact and visible. Fortunately, protecting the paper is as simple as a reusable waterproof case or bag. Reusable sandwich bags or zip-top ID holders work really well.
