    Mississippi House Bill 1028 to Tag Deer and Turkey

    If a bill introduced in the Legislature passes, hunters will soon be tagging deer and turkeys. House Bill 1028, authored by Rep. Ken Morgan, R-Morgantown, calls for the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks to implement mandatory tagging of deer and turkey harvests.

    The language of the bill is quite familiar. Morgan said it is an amended version of House Bill 1164, which was unsuccessful in navigating through the 2016 legislative session. But there are differences. House Bill 1028 does not include language to allow a fee to be charged for tags. Also, HB 1164 called for implementation of tagging and reporting in the 2016-17 hunting season. House Bill 1028, however, allows more time to develop a tagging and reporting system by stating the new regulation would not take effect until 2018.


    It has passed the House and is on it's way to the Senate. What's everyone's thoughts on this? I'm neutral on the idea and can see both sides of the argument.

    Tagging died in the House. Not sure how the amended bill, for a reporting system, ended up. My guess is it died.

    The amended version is still alive. it's just a skeleton version of the original. From the way it reads, it would be nearly impossible it enforce and they do still have penalties in the bill.
