    Anyone know where you can buy deer tags from for selling meat to a game dealer ?

    NARGC wont sell them to me because I'm not on the list of "Irish Register" of trained hunters. I have a Deer Management Qualification (DMQ) which includes large game meat hygiene and has been deemed to qualify me as a "trained hunter" by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI)

    Does anyone else sell them ?
    I can get these from uk http://www.bds.org.uk/STALKF9 or I'll have to get my own made up ?!

    Ballymoney Meats in Clane, Kildare, the closest for me, expect you to have your own tags, they have some in the office but really grumble when you ask for them.

    And as far as I can establish NARGC are the only ones issuing them at 50c a pop !!

    From the FSAI Wild Game Guidlines

    Individual Wild Game Body Identifier
    In general, this means that the large wild game bodies are identified by the hunter, via means of an
    individual tag. The information which must be contained on such a tag is as follows:
    • The provider’s name/emblem, which should be pre-printed on the tag. Generally, such tags are provided
    by hunters’ organisation on behalf of their members
    • The trained person’s number which each trained person should receive on successful completion of their
    training
    • A unique number which should be pre-printed on the tag, identifying the wild game body
    The tag must be durable and not easily removed.
    Control of tags
    • Generally, tags are issued by the relevant hunters’ organisation to their members.
    • Such organisations should keep a record correlating tag numbers to the persons they have been given to,
    including the hunters name, licence number and trained person’s number.

    So I take from that I can use whatevertags I want as long as they have the relevant data on them, and I think £10 for 100 from BDS is the way to go !!
