After a harvest, what is the first thing a hunter should do?

Celebrate with their hunting party
Check the game for signs of illness
Tag the game if required by law
Begin field dressing immediately

The correct answer is: Tag the game if required by law

After a harvest, hunters should always check and confirm any legal requirements that may need to be completed before proceeding with celebrations or any other activities. This ensures that all regulations are being followed and that the harvest is properly documented if necessary. While celebrating with the hunting party may seem like a fun and natural reaction, it should not be the first thing a hunter does. Additionally, although checking for signs of illness in the game is important, it should not be the first priority. The most immediate and essential action after a harvest is to properly and promptly tag the game as required by law. This helps to avoid any potential legal issues and ensures that the harvest is properly accounted for.
