The transportation tag must be attached directly to the animal so it travels with the carcass as soon as it is harvested. This keeps the tag with the deer or moose throughout transport, providing immediate, visible proof of lawful harvest and making it easy for officers to verify the harvest location and date. Keeping the tag in a pocket, in the vehicle, or on the firearm risks losing the tag or separating it from the animal, which could complicate enforcement and proof of compliance.
