Fish & Wildlife > Hunting & Trapping > CheckIN Game CheckIN Game

The CheckIN Game system is a free online system that allows hunters to check in their harvested game from any device that is connected to the internet.  Hunters who use this system will receive a confirmation number that must be written down on a temporary transportation tag (e.g. turkey transportation tag or deer transportation tag) for the harvested game species. Currently, this system is only set up for deer and turkey.

Hunters also still have the option of visiting a traditional check station or by using the CheckIN Game system by following the link below. There is also a phone in option at 1-800-419-1326, however there will be a $3 charge for this service (Visa or Mastercard only).

Before starting have your customer ID (CID) ready.

To find your customer ID (CID): 

  • Annual license holders can find this number by looking in the upper left hand corner of their hunting, fishing, or trapping license. For an example click here.
  • Lifetime license holders can look up their customer id number by clicking on the "search CID" link inside the CheckIN Game system.  Please remove any leading zeroes from the beginning of your lifetime license number. For example, license number 0001 should be entered as license number 1. Failure to remove the leading zeroes will result in an error.  
  • If you are exempt by law from needing a license to hunt in Indiana, you will need to check the box and fill in the required information and a customer id number will be created for you. Keep a record of your customer id for the next time you report harvested game.
