Big Game Hunting
Game Tags
Hunters are reminded that while hunting they are required to be in possession of all parts of the game tag.
When a big game kill is made, the hunter must immediately cut
out the month and date of kill on the game tag. If the hunter
maintains actual possession of the animal, affixing the cut out
game tag may be delayed until the animal has been taken to
a means of transportation. Immediately upon reaching such
transportation, the cut out tag must be securely attached to the big game animal.
The game tag must remain attached and readily visible until
the animal is processed. Hunters should note that hide, head/
antler and meat tags must accompany the appropriate parts
of the animal when separated from the carcass. In cases where
two hunters are sharing the meat from one harvested big game
animal and traveling to different destinations, the game tag must
accompany the portion of the meat that is in the possession of one
hunter, and the meat tag must accompany the portion of the meat
that is in the possession of the second hunter. The head/antler tag
must accompany the antlers and cape, even after being prepared
into a mount by a taxidermist. The tag can be affixed to the back
of the mount.
Tagging requirements do not apply to wolf hunters.
Animals observed with neck collars and ear tags should be reported
to any Manitoba Conservation
office for tracking purposes. If you have harvested a big
game animal with a neck collar or ear tag, please return the
collar and tag to the Wildlife and Ecosystem Protection Branch,
Box 24, 200 Saulteaux Crescent, Winnipeg MB R3J 3W3.
