When field dressing a deer, what is the first thing you should do?

  1. Remove the entrails

  2. Cut off the head

  3. Make a cut along the belly

  4. Tag the deer

The correct answer is: Tag the deer

When field dressing a deer, the first thing you should do is tag the deer. Tagging the deer is important because it helps identify the animal as legally harvested and is a requirement in many states to ensure the hunt is legal and regulated. After tagging the deer, you can proceed with field dressing by making a cut along the belly to remove the entrails, which is another crucial step in the process. Cutting off the head or removing the entrails before tagging the deer would not be the correct sequence of actions.
