Question #1
Is it legal to quarter up a deer in the field and pack it out as long as you have filled out the transportation tag?

Question #2
If the answer to question #1 is "no it is not legal". Is it legal to quarter up a deer in the field if you use your phone to check them in online before you begin quartering them up?

You cannot begin processing the deer until it has been checked in at an official check station or through the electronic check in and record the number on the temporary transportation tag. Therefore, the scenario in question #1 is not legal. Question #2 would be legal once the deer is checked in using the electronic system and the confirmation number is recorded on the temporary transportation tag. You must have permission to leave the waste products on the property you are hunting if you are using the scenario in question #2. You are NOT allowed to dump or leave this remains on state property.

I apologize for the delayed response.
