Ahh,but Ohio state law requires the tagging of migratory game birds IF they are in someone else's posession other than the hunter who shot it.If you're hunting by yourself or retain posession of your own birds you don't have to tag.The tagging is to help reduce over harvesting.
As I said in my first post, I don't hung geese and claim ignorance on the requirements. I merely made that statement to keep the other poster focused on the discussion - that is, if tagging is required, it is very serious not to follow tagging instructions. He had earlier stated that if he were caught, he hoped a judge would 'forgive' him.
loosing "possesion" usually means transporting, taxidermy, butcher shops. If you go out hunting with your buddies, and later one of your pals takes the goose, plucks it or whatever, and cooks it up for dinner later that night, that really isn't considered "loosing possesion".
The tagging of ALL wild game law is more for those pouchers who get caught transporting illegaly taken game.
