At first I thought it was about tagging and the meat, but it's a proof of sex issue.

OP - Like someone else said, quarter and take him the meat and tag and you're good to go.

"It is unlawful to remove the head or antlers (proof of sex) of deer or pronghorn at a commercial processor until the carcass has been quartered and entered into the cold storage logbook."

You could always leave the balls attached to the hide for proof of sex and take the head. After reading the regs, apparently balls don’t count as proof of sex. I have never left a head at the processor but i usually skin and quarter before i take them in. Guess we learn something new every day.

Interesting. We were just discussing how most guys don't bother to do anything but shoot and drop off their deer.
I have seldom dropped off a field dressed deer. In fact the only time I did was one I killed at the ranch in 17* and I field dressed it and drove home. Next morning it was a solid chunk so she went in whole.
The bucks are already beheaded by the time they get to the processor.
