When field dressing a deer, what is the first step?

  1. Remove the entrails

  2. Tag the deer

  3. Cut through the ribcage

  4. Cool the carcass as quickly as possible

The correct answer is: Tag the deer

The first step in field dressing a deer is tagging the deer. This is important because it is required by law in many places to properly tag and register a harvested deer. Removing the entrails, cutting through the ribcage, and cooling the carcass are all important steps in the field dressing process, but they should not be done before the deer is tagged. Not tagging the deer first can result in fines or other legal repercussions.
