If the licensee uses any type of trap to recapture birds that have been released for hunting, the licensee must tag or band all birds that are initially released prior to trapping with metal tags available from the Department. If traps are used to recapture birds the traps must be checked at least once every 24 hours and any untagged birds within the traps at that time must be immediately released back into the wild. If the licensee does not trap birds then the tagging of the birds before release is not required.
