TAGGING, TURKEY, DEER, BEAR
Sec.
				(1) A person who takes a turkey in an open season shall
				immediately attach the tag to the carcass by adhering the adhesive surfaces
				together in such a manner around a leg on the carcass to prevent removal. The
				tag shall remain attached to the carcass until prepared for consumption.
Any tag attached to the carcass that is not adhered or any
				  tag attached to the carcass that is altered in any manner shall be prima facie
				  evidence that the animal is not tagged.
If an individual has purchased more than one license a turkey
				  will be tagged only with the tag bearing the number corresponding with the
				  latest issued license or certificate. The use of any previously issued tags
				  will constitute prima facie evidence that the animal is not
				  tagged.
Sec. 2b A person who
				takes a deer in an open season shall immediately affix the locking tag securely
				to the deer by locking the tag through the hock or gambrel joint in such a
				manner to prevent removal. The tag shall remain on the carcass during
				possession and transportation until the deer is cut up for consumption.
Any tag attached to the carcass that is not locked or any tag
				  attached to the carcass that is altered in any manner shall be prima facie
				  evidence that the animal is not tagged.
If an individual has purchased more than one license a deer
				  will be tagged only with the tag bearing the number corresponding with the
				  latest issued license or certificate. The use of any previously issued tags

				  4255(b)
				  or a person holding a paraplegic license as defined by Section 4276 shall
				  immediately detach the deer tag from their license and affix the tag securely

				season shall immediately upon taking it into possession affix the locking tag

				such a manner to prevent removal. The tag shall remain on the carcass during
				possession and transportation until the bear is cut up for consumption.
Any tag attached to the carcass that is not locked or any tag
				  attached to the carcass that is altered in any manner shall be prima facie
				  evidence that the animal is not tagged.
If an individual has purchased more than one license a bear
				  will be tagged only with the tag bearing the number corresponding with the
