Post harvest species identifcation feature

[cgarner]

Me and a buddy have doe whitetail tags for Wyoming and assuming we get successful, I was wondering what body part do we need to leave on a quarter to identify the species. I assume the tail?

Ummmm, yeah, some call it tail. Evidence of sex is probably required like Montana. So no, the tail won't work. mtmuley

sex is required, but I'm more worried about how to differentiate between a whitetail vs a mule dear. What do i need to prove it is a whitetail and not a mule deer.

I'd think the tail would work for that. Dang sure can't mistake one for the other. mtmuley

agreed. Just want to make sure the game warden can.
