Deer Tags: Any Ideas on attaching the NEW paper tags to deer?

put tag in a ziploc with a golfball. put in bunghole if you haven't gutted yet.

ETA: if enough game wardens have to fish tag bags out of deer butts maybe they'll go back to the better paper

Not looking to make an enemy of the local wardens during a stop. You watch Louisiana Law yet? I live in warden Tarver's district #1.

Last time this topic came up someone suggested putting the tag in a ziplock back and ziptieing to antler/ear and (this is the important part) taking a picture on your phone of the tagged deer.

I think this is pretty good advice. A warden would have a tough time giving you a ticket if for some reason the tag falls off and you have done this.

this is what we have always done with ducks.
bag the tag and ziptie to a leg in each 6 duck pile

Staying on topic - Yes, for backpack transport, i will just put the page in a plastic zip bag that some of my archery gear came in, and that in my pack.

For the deer, i will use those clear badges that groups use at conventions ( My name is ...)

Electric tape the tag around leg or antler. It doesn’t come off if you wrap it well

I keep a piece of clear packing tape wrapped around a pen in my bag, as well as small zip ties. I report it on my phone, fill out the tag and fold the tape over it, essentially laminating it, then zip it to a main beam or leg.
