First off, what a great opening day
Seen a lot of deer. I passed on two spikes and 6 doe. Alarger spike(3rd of the day)I couldn't pass. I bagged him at 2:10. Field dressed the buck, put him on the quad and went straight to the barn.This is when the fun ends.The barn is close to the road. A DEC official was driving by and seen us
My deer was still on the quad, he noticed there was no tag on it and wrote me up[:@]The law is you must fill out the tagimmediately,and tag it as soon as you drag it to camp or get to transportation(technically guilty as charged). I misinterpreted the law. I never considered my quad as transportation,I just thought they meant tag it before you put it in a truck or car. Every deer we ever harvested was tagged in our barn, on our property,never crossing a road or property line. So now I am at the mercy of the local court to pay a fine between $50 - $200 [:-]Believe me the next deer WILL be tagged ASAP rain,sleet or snow[:'(]
Question, when do you guys fill out your tags?
Thanks for letting me vent
