These Guys are steering you in the right direction.
If you are a young man, then get help from a trusted adult. If you aren't, then you should have known better.
I HAD a hunting buddy that I seen spotlighting does and cutting out the backstraps then leaving the rest to rot.

I turned him in and told him I was going to. He still will not speak to me and that is his problem.
If you want to do the ethical thing, make a phone call!
