Com- plaints of discrimination should be sent to Office of the Secretary, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, 1020 S Kansas Ave., Topeka, KS 66612-1327. 04/21 POST-HARVEST INSTRUCTIONS At the time of purchase, hunters will have the option of paper carcass tags or e-tags. Paper tags: Sign permit prior to hunting to validate it. After an animal is killed, the carcass tag must be signed, dated and attached to the animal in a visible manner be- fore the carcass is moved from the harvest site. Paper permits and tags purchased through the in- ternet must be printed on a desktop printer at the time of purchase. To protect a non-waterproof paper tag, place it in a clear plastic bag and attach it to the leg of the animal with a zip-tie or other attachment. The carcass tag must remain attached to the animal during transport and kept with the meat until it is con- sumed, given to another or otherwise disposed of. The beard of a turkey taken in the spring must re- main naturally attached to the breast while in transit from the site of the kill. Hunters using paper tags may voluntarily register their birds if they wish to bone them out in the field. Voluntary registration requires sending photos to KDWPT of the bird with beard at- tached and the carcass tag attached before boning the meat. A confirmation number will be sent, which will allow transport of the meat. The carcass may be left at the hunting site. Deer taken with antlerless-only permits must be transported with the head attached to the carcass. However, it is best not to transport carcasses from areas with known cases of chronic wasting disease (CWD) to prevent spreading the disease. An animal taken with an antlerless-only permit may be quartered as long as genitalia is left attached to one of the rear quarters, leaving the spinal column and head at the hunting site. Or an antlerless an- imal may be boned out at the kill site if it is registered electronically. To learn more about electronic registration, visit ksoutdoors.com/pro- grams, then click “Electronic Turkey Check-in” or “Electronic Deer Check-in.” E-tags: Hunters who choose e-tags will keep the turkey or big game per- mit and e-tag on their mobile device. To validate an e-tag when an animal is killed, open the “HuntFishKS” mobile app and record the date and time of kill and enter a photograph of the entire carcass with sufficient clarity. Turkeys need to show its beard (if it was taken in the spring), deer need to show species and whether it is antlered or antlerless. Once the data and photo are submitted, a confirmation number will be dis- played within the app and must be kept on the mobile device during transport and retained by the hunter until the meat is consumed, given to another or otherwise disposed of. An e-tag confirmation number will work the same as electronic registration for a hunter wanting to bone out an animal during the spring turkey season or deer taken with an antler- less-only permit and transport only meat. Survey: Hunters may be requested to complete an online KANSAS DEER HUNTER HARVEST SURVEY at the end of the season. Information re- ceived helps biologists make decisions and manage a healthy herd. A ran- dom sample of hunters will be contacted after the season, making it important for hunters to update address information each year when they purchase a permit. Hunters surveyed will receive an email or a post- card with a weblink to direct them to a website with the online survey. Questions about this survey or assistance in completing it may be ob- tained at the KDWPT Research and Survey Office, (620) 342- 0658. State law (K.S.A. 32-937) requires that deer hunters receiving a harvest report card complete the survey.
