O.C.G.A. 27-3-45 (2010)
27-3-45. Information required before removal of carcass from place of killing; exception for certain managed hunts; using multiple sets of licenses or license card carriers


(a) It shall be unlawful for any person killing a deer to remove the carcass from the place of killing until such person records the date and the sex of the animal on the license card carrier with the appropriate big game license attached; provided, however, that a person hunting deer pursuant to the authorization provided by a license identification number may record such information on a piece of paper bearing the license identification number. Any information recorded by the holder of a license identification number shall transfer such information to the license card carrier furnished by the department immediately upon receipt of such carrier. A deer carcass not processed for consumption that is being transported by a person other than the person who killed the deer must be identified with the following written information attached to the deer: the name and address of the hunter who killed the deer, the date of the kill, and the county of the kill. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, a deer killed on a wildlife management area or a national wildlife refuge managed hunt requiring check-out of harvested deer will be tagged at the check station with a special wildlife management area or refuge tag and is not required to be recorded on the license card carrier and does not count toward a hunter's season limit.

(b) It shall be unlawful to obtain, possess, or otherwise use multiple sets of licenses or license card carriers for the purpose of circumventing the season bag limit for deer.
