What is one of the first things you should do after harvesting an animal?

  1. Pack it out of the woods

  2. Tag the animal, if required

  3. Start a fire

  4. Take pictures

The correct answer is: Tag the animal, if required

After harvesting an animal, one of the first things you should do is tag the animal, if required. This is important for keeping track of the animal and ensuring it is legally harvested. Option A is incorrect because packing out the animal may damage the tag or cause it to fall off. Option C is incorrect because starting a fire is not a necessary task after harvesting an animal. Option D is incorrect because while taking pictures may be a fun and meaningful activity, it is not a necessary step immediately after harvesting an animal.
