Yes, tag can be used in any order.

Good question Steve! I'm sure the higher ups want us to kill a cow before using the bonus tag. Hoping not of course!!!

[FASTEDDIE29]

Well that's not too bad then! Things could be better, things could be worse!!!

Not sufficient just to have the tag; it must be filled out before you return to the dock; here're the State instructions:

What to do if you harvest a bonus fish:
• All information on the permit must be completed immediately after harvest and prior to transportation.
• Report harvest information at www.wildlifelicense.com. A $2.00 fee will be charged to receive a replacement permit. Harvest information must be reported online for all permits issued via the internet. You will not receive a new permit by going to a check station or by mailing your permit to the Division.
