I honest to God would not shoot it. I am far too fearful that I would get caught. Knowing me, I WOULD get caught. Driving home, it would be just my luck that I would wind up running through a sobriety check point or something similar.

I would definitely try to hunt that deer the next day though and would most likely pass other good deer in the hopes of seeing him again.

I hate to say it but dishonest hunters are all around. I know of people who still throw out apples, corn, etc even though baiting is illegal here in NY. I know of some that &quot;forget&quot; to tag their deer, or send in the tag, etc. Heck I know some that don't even bother with tags at all! It's a real shame that a few bad seeds have to make the rest of us look bad.
