So the first thing to they do when they get to the animal is tag it?
They don’t even grab the antlers and take a look first?
No pictures?
Jus walk straight up and notch the tag before anything else?

I find that hard to believe.

I'm usually extra cautious on this one because of stories in the news about people busted for being a little lax on it. Still managed to not be perfect with it this year. When i shot a buck on my land i punched the tag without touching the deer and stuffed it in my havalon pouch and let it sit next to the deer. Tape was in my pack in the blind 100 yards away and planned on grabbing it when i was on my way back with a tractor to retrieve the deer.

My 2 and 4 YO kids were pretty excited about dad shooting a deer so I waited for the Mrs to bring them to the land so they could go on a tractor ride and retrieve it. In the ensuing excitement with the kids, i forgot all about actually attaching the punched tag until we got back to our shack and meat pole and realized the tag was was still laying with the knife on the ground. It wasn't intentional or egregious but i didn't follow the law completely.

Had you just walked up and taped the tag on it wouldn’t have happened. Sounds like you had a lot going on in your head and , if like me, that would be the time in that day adhd kicked my ass. Shit happens. Intentions weren’t bad. But some oeoooe actually have bad intentions disguised as ignorance or forgetfulness.
