DEER HUNTING
REPLACEMENT OF LOST TAGS
Duplicate tags are available to replace lost tags. Tags can be reprinted online at www.laweb.s3licensing.com no cost. If duplicate tags are applied for at the retail location, there is
a $2 charge to the hunter. Hunters that have harvested deer prior to losing their remaining
tags must remove and discard the duplicate tags to account for the original tags that have
been used and validated. Hunters must record these validated deer on the duplicate deer
tag license.
