Curious. Is it legally tagged if you used fishing line or braid? If so how can you not just cut the wire or line off at home and reuse the tags? I have never seen one.
Seem like a sticky strip would be better. Like the luggage tag they use for flying. Can’t reuse it once stuck sides together.

I'm just guessing, but I would assume they could still give you a ticket. But if the tag was tied on with fishing line, and the knot was under the tag, I would expect more leeway than if you just didn't use a tag at all.
If you set it up with the knot outside of the tag, you just built a reusable tag, and I would expect a ticket.

wrapping the tag around the knot in the rope,sticky side to sticky side will stay better than the wires. how many have had 1 leg of the wire come loose dragging a game animal out of the bush.

I think the sticky strip idea wouldn’t work because you would be threading through the wet gills or slit in the hide of big game and the glue would get contaminated. You said you’ve never seen one, they are a big sticker, you peel the back off and fold the two glue sides together. In that glue fold is the wire to hold it on the animal. If the fishing line knot is within the glue if would not be removable without cutting the line. Like someone said, yeah if the know was not in the sticker, it would not be valid.

I wish they would contract to the same folks that make the ski hill passes. those suckers do not come apart no matter what you try - try and get them off your jacket without a knife or scissors. The deer tags you have to work to try and get them to stay on when handling the deer in the field.

OP just remember even honest mistakes have consequences. Doesn’t mean your a bad person or major criminal, just means you had a lapse in judgement and goofed. I have to tell people that all the time when I write tickets. The second you try and hide something or make excuses for your goof speaks volumes about the type of person you are. Times are tough on everyone but like the saying goes, do the crime pay the time. Just because your having difficulties isn’t a get out of jail free card. I wish you the best at your appearance if that is what you choose to do.

This is the plain truth and well it should be. A little innovation goes a long ways. There are many substitutes to a piece of bent wire.

Update
This it what happened at the end:
Due to Covid-19 the court was closed, so I email them and explain to them all the details of the event, and my current financial situation. Gladly the fine got cancelled and I did not pay anything.
I would encourage all the outdoorsmen that get fined, that If you believe that there were some mitigating circumstances for the mistake to fight to the end in court, as citizens we have that right and it is good to exercise it.
Good Luck

I think you just got lucky that covid happened.
Apparently criminals in prison that are in for drug dealing are also let off easy due to covid and overcrowding during covid.

You deserved a fine.
You got away without one because of covid, not because you were in the right.

Spot on. One more guy that admits all the facts of his guilt and still gets off. At least it is better than some violent criminal getting off as there are way too many of them walking off Scott free.

If you lack the critical thinking skills to improvise something to affix a tag properly... you deserve a fine, that is all close the thread

Justice system doesnt exist right now....courts are swamped just doing paperwork releasing criminals daily so they dont overcrowd cells.
Catch and release for criminals right now...total free for all.
mariocerna you dodged a bullet and sounds like you learned nothing...hopefully the next time the book gets thrown at you to make up for this one.

charges
I don't know your charges and what the circumstances are but yes COVID did help you out for sure.
On a side note I Know that lots of charges ( mostly property crime related) were withdrawn or stayed as a result of Covid by the crown prosecutors. For traffic offences where a monetary payment is payed the crown prosecutors have adjourned most trials into 2021 or even 2022 as there is back log in the court system. It is sad to see but that is the truth.

Never ceases to amaze me that everyone that get's a ticket doesn't think they deserved it, which of course is keeping with the new normal, nobody takes responsibility for their actions, it's always someone's else's fault

Not sure why people keep coming to a sportfishing forum with poaching stories and expect sympathy. Sounds all illegal to me.
You are supposed to tag the fish immediately after catching them. So the first fish you should realize you have no way to tag the fish and throw it back. Sounds like you went on to catch several more without placing tags on them, which is illegal even if you have the tags.
You know there are other ways to attach a tag. Like a piece of fishing line. At least it would have shown effort on your part and the tag would have been used.
Should have played it smart and just gone back to the truck and got the wires before you kept the fish.
To me it sounds like a perfect poaching excuse and I am sure the Conservation officers hear it all the time, "Oh I was just about to put the tag on when you pulled up."
