I haven't hunted deer in a long time. I'm pretty sure the yellow tags are from the hunting licenses. You buy a license, shoot a deer, and you have to put the license from the tag on the deer. This supposedly keeps you from shooting more than you limit.
The red and blue tags must refer to the processing and would have been put on by the butcher.
