What must hunters attach to harvested game in Colorado and comply with any reporting or check-in requirements?

• A. Attach the appropriate harvest tag and comply with any reporting or check-in requirements set by CPW.
• B. Attach a generic tag only if selling meat.
• C. Tag is optional if hunting on public land.
• D. Tag must be attached at the processing facility.

Answer: (A)

In Colorado, you must attach the appropriate harvest tag to harvested game and follow any reporting or check-in requirements set by CPW. The tag proves the lawful harvest and ties the animal to your permit, helping with population management and enforcement. Attach the tag in the field and ensure any required reporting or check-in is completed within the specified timeframe, so the harvest is properly recorded.

The other options don’t fit because tagging is required regardless of selling meat, there’s no special exemption for public land, and tagging isn’t something you do only at a processing facility.
