CTGR Tribal Harvest Licenses
Tribal Members must have been issued a new Tribal Harvest License in 2023 to utilize the following opportunities. New harvest licenses have a hologram, if your license does not have a hologram, you have not updated your license.
If you were issued a new license in 2023, tags can be mailed to you, but requests need to be made by the license holder and verification of possession of a valid tribal harvest license will be required.
If you did not receive a new license in 2023 you will need to come to NRD during business hours to receive a new license and get tags issued in person.
