Tom,
This is straight from Michigans DNR web site:
Deer processing
Q. Can I process or have my deer processed before I return home?YES. You may process your own deer or take it to a processor before you return home. You do not need any type of permit from the DNR; however, until you get your deer home, you must keep the head and validated kill tag as proof of the kind of deer you took.
I cant find anything that states that a tag must be maintained with the processed meat while its in the freezer... then after a certain time frame... you must get another tag re-issued. Please show me / the forum this regulation.
Tom, its always about the details... cause detail can prove that your telling a factual story or BS.
The story is BS....

To the poster that said since when is it illegal to have meat in the freezer without a tag etc.... Every state is different. In Michigan you have to have a tag in the freezer with the meat. After a certain period of time you must be re-issued a tag to keep it in your freezer. Not sure on the exact time frame etc...
This story is not BS. The guy did poach the deer and claimed that it was shot somewhere else. Why did they care about this one deer? It would have been a new state record.
Guys,
Don't get bogged down in the details. Just take from this that what you post on the internet can come back to haunt you. I've always watched what I've said on here so I know I'm good.
Tom
