Why Check Deer?  State law requires hunters to immediately field tag every deer taken and then have the carcass examined by the Division of Fish and Wildlife. The Division checks deer to gather valuable information about the condition of the State's herd. Data on age, weight, buck or doe, condition and place of kill are useful in studying deer populations and setting seasons.
Online deer registration
Hunters: When the archery-only deer season opens Sept. 1, you can take advantage of the convenience rather than risk waiting in line at your checking station. Avoid a check station crowd and register your deer by phone: call
1-877-DELAHIP (1-877-335-2447) with all the pertinent information about your deer.
