B. Positive evidence of sex identification, including the head or sex organs,9
shall remain on any deer taken or killed within the state of Louisiana, or on all turkey10
taken or killed during any special gobbler season when killing of turkey hens is11
prohibited, so long as such deer or turkey is kept in camp or field, or is in route to the12
domicile of its possessor, or until such deer or turkey has been stored at the domicile13
of its possessor or divided at a cold storage facility and has thus become identifiable14
as food rather than as wild game. Deer and turkey may be divided in camp or field15
but, in the event of such division, each portion shall be identified by the name,16
address, and license number of the person killing it and the sex of the animal;17
however, it is not necessary to affix the license number as required above to portions18
cut from the carcass immediately prior to their being consumed in camp.19
