When you guys are talking about losing the tag, is it because you think the tag will tear or the string will come off?
Don't quite a few other states have these same 'provide your own fastener' tie on type tags? (WI comes to mind) They kill a lot more deer up in WI. I'd hate to think it works for them because the Cheeseheads know how to bring a piece of string and tie a better knot than us FIB's.
