I don't know what the law is in Wis. but in Ill. no tag needed until the animal is moved. Taking picturew without a tag would be legal here.
as u can see in the pictures the first 2 the buck is in 2 differnt locations, in wisconsin you are supposed to tag the deer before you do anything with it....
Deer Tagging Instructions
1 You must validate the appropriate deer carcass tag immediately upon killing and
before fi eld dressing or moving the deer by slitting the appropriate date and time.
Note:
An antlerless deer is any deer that does not have any antler of 3 or more
inches in length. A buck deer is any deer with an antler 3 inches or longer.
2. Insert a string or similar fastener through the small hole in the middle of the tag
(note: a tab covers the hole) and attach to the deer’s ear or antler. You will need to
provide your own string or similar fastener to attach the carcass tag to your deer.
3. After the deer has been tagged, it must be registered at an appropriate registration
station. Please see the section below on registration.
4. The carcass and registration tags must remain attached to the deer until butchering.
The person who killed, tagged or obtained the deer shall retain all tags until the
meat is consumed.
Not to get into an argument but according to the Wis. Regs.you only need to "validate" the tag before field dressing or moving it.
