Just when you think that things couldn't get more zany

Michigan's electronic license sales vendor had a major software melt-down and gun deer license tags issuance crashed. Hunters have been instructed to make their own kill tags and go hunting while the State attempts to repair the conduit. COs have been instructed to take this issue into "full consideration" when doing license checks....

Honest officer, my daughter made my kill tag, that's why it is written in crayon! Yes, I added another gender, other, to my kill tag in keeping with societal trends! I have always been a big fan of bedazzling, so I made this sequin adorned kill tag as compensation for taking the deer's life!
 
Awwww c'mon a tastefully bedazzled choker necklace for the deer with all the pertinent info is much prettier than some zip tied piece of plastic through their ear or around their horn
 

Appears to be par for the course this year, and no surprise. What can go wrong, shall go wrong...


I do like that that they give the hunter the freedom to create their own tags, and NO rules. Let the artistic & bedazzling freedom begin!

It might be a good thing if the deer hunters, and CO's take cell phone photos of all the tags. Compile a full array, and then have a hunters & CO's choice, to choose the best ones.

I mean hell, ya got lemons, why not make Lemonade?

That's an interesting idea, Vince. There actually is a monthly thread that outlines CO investigations, stratified by the three management Regions in Michigan. I don't know who edits the entries from their work logs...

Dani, I wouldn't be surprised up here to see a Chlorox bleach bottle affixed to a buck's rack this time around. One of our tribal gill netters used a broken crutch with an ERA laundry detergent bottle duct taped into the "window" below the padded rest with visqueen orange flagging attached for visibility. Yes, they have standardized net marker requirements enacted and enforced under the 2020 Consent Decree.

The traditional kill tag is set-up to be notched for kill date, gender, and points per side prior engaging in peel-off and either a full wrap around an antler of be affixed to a plastic backer and zip tied to the gambrel, rack, or ear.
