The largest piece of meat, I bone out and I typically cut a small hole in hind quarter and zip tie the tag to it.

I would have the hunter who shot the animal keep it on them while hauling it out. The law says you must attach it to the meat Immediately prior to transporting it in a vehicle or while at camp. And it goes on meat not horns or hide. And it must stay with the meat until it's all consumed.

I would pack out the quarter with evidence of sex attached and fasten the tag to it. This should satisfy any warden.

When boned out does evidence of sex need to remain attached?

Yes.

I've attached it to the "butchers handle" before and it works well with a zip tie or the like. It's the big tendon on the rear quarter just above the knee.
