If you will email me with an address "put Record of Game in the subject line"
I will send you a card that you can write your name and license number on for your
record of game. I'll also send a piece of laminating sheet to laminate it
to keep it dry and neat. All you need is a bread-tie or small piece
of wire or string to attach it to your game. I carry mine in my wallet with my
bread-tie so I always have it.
If you don't have a lifetime hunting license, let me know and
I'll send you a card that just has "License #____".
This card is NOT a "license" or "permit"! It is simply something that will fit easily into your wallet or pocket, to put on your game to meet the ODWC's "Record of Game" law. The web master of The Oklahoma Outdoorsman (me) will not be liable for any false information put on any cards. The Oklahoma Hunting Guide & Regulation book says (and I quote):
"Field Tagging Requirements
All hunters (including lifetime license holders) who harvest a deer, elk or antelope must immediately attach a field tag, securely to the
carcass, with their name, customer ID number or lifetime license number, and date and time of harvest.
A field tag can be any item, so long as the tag contains the required information. This tag must remain with the carcass to its final destination or through processing and/or storage
at commercial processing or storage facilities."
"Checking Requirements
All deer, elk, antelope, and turkey must be checked within 24 hours of leaving the hunt area prior to processing the carcass. This can be done through the online E-Check system at GoOutdoorsOklahoma.com, the Go Outdoors Oklahoma mobile app, or with an authorized Department employee. Once checked, the animal will be issued a carcass tag or an online confirmation number. This tag or number must remain with the carcass to its final destination or through processing and/or storage at commercial processing or storage facilities. Deer and elk may be checked in quartered, provided the sex organs remain naturally attached and the head accompanies the carcass. Additional requirements apply specifically to turkey and bear and are outlined below.
For turkey (fall or spring), all hunters—including lifetime license holders—must immediately attach a field tag securely to the carcass upon harvest. This tag must include the hunter's name, customer ID number, and the date and time of harvest. The tag can be any item, as long as it contains the required information. This information, along with evidence of sex (one leg with foot or a beard), must remain with the carcass until the turkey is checked in. If a hen is harvested with a beard, the beard must remain intact and not be removed until the turkey has reached its final destination.
For bear, all hunters must immediately attach their name and customer ID number to the carcass. The tag can be made of any material, as long as it clearly displays the required information. This identification must remain attached until the bear has been officially checked. After harvesting, hunters are required to contact a Department representative—Matt Hensley, Wildlife Biologist, at (918) 527-9918; Tres Phipps, Wildlife Technician, at (918) 527-9921; or Aaron Dossey, Wildlife Technician, at (918) 260-3920. The carcass must be checked in by the hunter who harvested the bear. Once checked, a carcass tag will be issued, which must remain with the carcass until it reaches its final destination or is processed and/or stored at a commercial processing or storage facility. Bear carcasses may be quartered, with or without the skin, but the head and sex organs must remain naturally attached to the skin until the carcass has been checked by a Department employee.
This card meets all ODWC regulations, as long as the hunter DOES NOT put any incorrect information on it.
