How to Tag and Check a Bear:
Option 1. Immediately upon taking a bear (before moving it), you must check your harvest online, by the AGFC mobile app or phone 833-289-2469 and have confirmation number readily available.
Option 2. Fill out the game tag provided in the guidebook in ink. You may substitute a piece of paper for this tag, it must include the hunter’s name, the date and bear zone of harvest or confirmation number written legibly in ink. After tagging your game call 833-289-2469, visit www.agfc.com/license or use the AGFC mobile app within 12 hours to complete checking.
Before freezing or processing, collect a premolar and hair to submit later. Successful hunters must submit a premolar to fulfill the check requirements for a bear. Hunters who harvest a bear must submit a premolar within seven days of receiving their premolar package from AGFC. A hair sample from the bear also is highly encouraged.
