Deer Tag and Check
Hunters who kill a deer or turkey must immediately:

  • Complete a game tag with the hunter’s name, date, time, and county of kill.
  • Attach the completed game tag to the deer at the place where it fell.
  • Fill in the deer permit with date, time, and county of kill.
  • A person cannot leave Ohio with a deer taken by hunting that has not been game checked with the confirmation number permanently attached.
  • The hunter must complete the game check and tagging process by 12 p.m. (noon) the day after the kill. If the deer is killed on the last day of a season, then it must be checked in by 11:30 p.m. on the day of kill.
