What must be done with harvested game after a successful hunt?

The harvested game must be tagged properly according to state regulations to ensure that it is accounted for and to provide proper documentation of the hunting process. Tagging is crucial for wildlife management and conservation efforts, as it helps to monitor the population levels of different species, manage hunting pressure, and prevent poaching. Each state has specific rules about how and when to tag harvested game, and following these regulations is vital for both legal compliance and ethical hunting practices. Proper tagging contributes to conservation efforts and helps ensure sustainable wildlife populations for future generations.
