Safe before season, bino harness during. Also keep a license and lion tag in my wallet.
Where to you keep your tags before and during the hunt?

Alaska tags.... feel like I’m a spy stalking around with a dossier on my target.

Some of you should immediately transfer those tags to your favorite cookbook.

I have a desk drawer for important papers. They sit there until the hunt. When packing for the hunt I move it to the small "kill bag" with field dressing stuff that is in my pack - it stays there for the duration of the hunt.

Mine go in one of those plastic pockets and then into my hunting pack the day I get them.
I bought a book sack years ago that came with a removable name card thing. I’ve attached it on the inside of my hunting pack and it holds my license and tags.
Couple years ago I lost my LA lifetime licenses. Ordered a new one then later found the old one. Which was convenient because now I can keep one in the pack, and 1 in a dry box with other paperwork in the boat.

Desk drawer -> bino harness -> crumpled up and thrown in the trash in disgust

I usually put them straight into my vegetable soup. The paper is more tender straight off the printer

My Tags/tag go in a zip lock baggie along with a pen, a small folding scissors and folding reading glasses. The baggie goes in the zippered inside pocket in my hunting coat. A friend of mine from Wisconsin forgot his once while on a trip to Wyoming to hunt with me, he remembered it about 3 hours into the trip, they turned around and got it. He's never forgotten any since.
Before season my tags stay in our mail holder just about where we keep our keys and our phone chargers which get used everyday so there is no chance of forgetting about them.
During hunting season it goes in my wallet which I am never without, never. In NV you must have your license and tag on your person while hunting.

Right now my tags are thumb tacked to the cork board part of my desk. During season they go in a ziplock bag with my driver's license, hunter safety card (whether I need it or not) my conservation stamp, 2 zip ties and a sharpie in the right cargo pocket or butt pocket of my camo pants.
Kansas license/carcass tags go straight into my license holder (also used to carry my kid's tags back in the day when I was the only adult hunting) and then into my wallet. The waterproof paper that Kansas uses to print on is the same size as a drivers license, so it fits well
Other states like Wyoming, licenses are placed in an outside pocket of my kill kit. No way I want to put those much larger licenses into a wallet. The carcass tag is three times the size of a Kansas tag, with an addition of the landowner coupon and other identification/endorsements it would take up a lot of space.
Pens and zipstrips and stored in kill kit, as well as binocular pouch and pack lid as well. One time I had to have kansasson to sign a tag using my leatherman knife to scribe into the plastic paper and stain the scar with turkey blood when the only pen I had failed to emit ink. This was on a day when the Game Officer was waiting for him when he went back to the car. He gave Aaron a pen to sign the tag "properly" and let him keep the pen.
On a side note, I have on occasion used the following pre-hunt tactic regarding tags..........As I put my pack on and cinch down the waist belt, I will say out loud something along the lines of...."oh, man, I forgot my __________tag", thus giving said species a false sense of security.

All my licenses go in my wallet because I will always be carrying my wallet. Tags that don't fit in my wallet stay on my desk in a safe place until I need to start packing for my hunt.
A long time ago I learned a hard lesson about nifty little bags and packs that have a place for license and tags.
I was turkey hunting and got checked and when I pulled out my wallet I was surprised to see my hunting license wasn't there. I had left it in a pack from a previous hunt. Costly little mistake.

In my billfold with all my other important stuff
I used to put my tags on a box with other important papers until the season started then I would put them in my pack. Then one year I got all the way out to camp before I realized I forgot my elk tag. Had to drive all the way home and back again. Now I put them in my pack as soon as I get them.

Eeezy-Pezzzy. As soon I get them they go into a zip lock bag and immediately get put into a single selected inner pocket of my day pack. 30+ yrs running. I don't hunt w/o the day pack and I don't move in field w/o it.

Oregon has electronic tags now you just pull up the app on your cell phone and just press validate when you get your animal , but then they still want you to make your own tag to put on it in the field as well , so I keep a scrap of paper in my Bino harness as well , with the pertinent info, they told us it would work off line in the field , last year it didnt , after getting my buck to the rig , drove to find cell service to validate electronically, maybe this year it will be fixed . below is screen shot off my phone of my cougar tag, in addition you can now just buy your tags off the ODFW app also , dont even have to leave the house, even apply for all your hunts all from the couch !!! being older i thought it was stupid at first , i admit i like it now , this is the second year our state is doing this, ODFW = Oregon Dept Fish & Wildlife
