Correct Answer:

Tagging the deer

Explanation:

When field dressing a deer, the first step should be tagging the deer. This is important for legal reasons as most states, including Pennsylvania, require hunters to immediately tag their harvested game with the appropriate tag or documentation. This allows wildlife authorities to regulate the harvest and ensure that the deer was taken legally. Removing the hide, cutting through the breastbone, and cutting around the anus are all steps that come after tagging the deer in the field dressing process.
