The requirement focuses on proper tagging and transport of big-game. You must attach a securely fastened, completed transportation tag to the animal that includes the hunter’s name, address, and license number before you move it. This tag links the carcass to the harvest record, helps game wardens verify legal take, and ensures the animal can be traced to the correct hunter during transport and processing.

A clothing sticker, an electronic microchip, or a tag left in the vehicle cabin wouldn’t accompany the animal or provide the necessary identification during movement, so they don’t meet the rule. Therefore, the securely attached transportation tag with full hunter information is the correct requirement.
