I have a question for y'all, and I'm not supporting or going against an actual tag system.

What is the difference between having to carry the current harvest record with you and having to carry an actual tag you put on the deer? Both can be washed, get wet, get lost and some of the ones I've seen have to be written on. People can still not tag the deer and get away with it, just like they can now by not writing them down. I'm not trying to argue, just trying to figure out the benefits of an actual tag over a harvest record.
