What does it mean to 'tag' a deer?

  1. To track it

  2. To mark it with spray paint

  3. To attach your identification to it after a kill

  4. To take a picture of it

The correct answer is: To attach your identification to it after a kill

'Tagging' a deer means to attach your identification to it after a kill. This process is crucial for deer hunters as it helps with game management, monitoring the deer population, ensuring legal compliance, as well as personal accountability for the harvest. By attaching a tag or some form of identification to the deer, hunters are able to demonstrate that the deer was taken legally and enable wildlife agencies to regulate hunting activities effectively.
