Fill it out and keep it in your pocket till you get to the truck, Then tag it. UNLESS you have to leave the deer in the woods to go get help, cart or whatever. Then you MUST tag it before hand.An untagged and unattended deer is an illegal deer.

When I get the deer to the clearing or place where I can get the tractor., I place the tag. I then go to the barn for the tractor and take the deer to the hanging tree. We have a two pulley system to make it easy to get off the ground.

I found some plastic ID holders at the dollar store last year. I put my tag inside them and seal them like a zip lock baggie and then I purchased some big safety pin to pin it to the deer.

put the tag in a ziploc bag. Zip-tie ziploc bag to deer. Now you can take the tag in and out of the bag if needed without tearing it up.

Now thats a good idea, zip lock or luggage tags. I always tag my deer as soon as I find them so I can go back and get the four wheeler to get them out. My paper tags are about gone depending on the weather. Keep the idea's coming.

Because of participating in draw hunts and hunting some public ground, I put my tag information on the back of one of my business cards and place it inside the deers mouth. That is a second tag incase I have issues with the required leg tag.

I keep two copies of my license and a couple of copies of my transport tag with me @ all times.
Starting this year, I'm going to keep a copy of my tag on my phone. I don't know if it would satisfy the game warden, but I do it anyway.

Put a return address label (like most insurance agents send customers) on a recipe card. Then all yo need to do is fill out the particulars, date, sex, county, etc. The recipe cards are several times sturdier than common paper and hold up better. As stated above, you are not required to have a tag on the deer unless it is out of your sight. If you are driving it home, keep the tag in your pocket. If someone else is transporting it, better have it tagged and well-secured to the carcass.

Larry Benoit would stick a rifle shell up their rectum to prove ownership should someone claim his buck as their own before he could return and retrieve it. "Officer, this dude stole my deer, and I can prove it." Lol!

I don't know if it would satisfy the game warden, but I do it anyway. Check out the 3rd bullet point on page 8 of the hunting guide... "A hunting license (and applicable stamp privileges, federal stamps or permits, and HIP number) must have either an original signature in ink and be carried with the licensee while hunting or the licensee must produce an electronic copy of the license while hunting. The license or electronic copy of the license must be produced upon the request of an Indiana Conservation Officer or other authorized law enforcement officer" Paper copies of licenses are no longer required while hunting or fishing. A copy on your smartphone is acceptable.

Just tag it as described by law because if the tag becomes illegible due to moisture or blood it's not your fault because you followed the law as prescribed. If the state wants perfection then it's their responsibility to provide you with a indestructible tag and the device to attach it to the deer so that it remains legible and and securely fastened.
After you tag it take a photo of it tagged.

If you have enough disposable income to deer hunt, you have enough dollars to buy string and zip locks bags.

I err on the side of caution and attach the tag as soon as the deer is placed on the 4 wheeler. I used to not tag until I was at the truck. After re-reading the law for exactly how it is written, I decided that the 4 wheeler is a motor vehicle and the deer should be tagged while on it also.

The best thing I have found for tagging deer are the old license holders I used to wear on my back while hunting in PA. I just put my tag in there and pin the license holder on the deer's leg.

They should do what ohio does and have tags available at time of license being purchased now tht was back in 2000 but the system worked.

Side tracking slightly, but when you buy a license on line it only utilizes a small portion of the sheet of paper. Why in the heck doesn't some whizz at the DNR utilize the remainder of that space to make some carcass tags?
Some of the homemade tags you see are pretty illegible.

They ONLY time I have ever been checked by a CO was about 15 years ago. I shot a doe and the tag tore off in the woods. I was just getting ready to leave for the check station when he pulled up and checked my license and tag that was in my pocket. He never said a word about it not being affixed to the deer. Nice guy and he stayed and shot the bull with us for a good while.
