Guilty before innocent most are today.But anyway, If it was shot illegal,I would just say 1/3 illegal. It was during hunting season.It was tagged.So that part can't be illegal.The only part that can be is for him not haveing a tag for it. And if his son tagged it then he is 1/3 guilty to.But does it matter.To me it don't. I would of shot it to or if seen it on the road in front of my truck I would of tagged it.If I shot it when I had no buck tags left I would say mistaken kill. Pay a little fine and still be able to keep the deer.The does was running thru the woods and when I squeezed off I seen one fall but it wasn't a doe.No big deal no loss of liscense everything is fine.The only thing would have to listen to are jealous people crying about it. And who have ever shot a deer 5 minutes after shooting time or 5 minutes before are just as guilty as poaching then.But,we got to many boyscouts who wouldn't dare admit to breaking the law in anyway.Includeing speeding.There is way to many hipocrits in this world today. I would be proud to of shot that deer even if had no buck tags left and only doe tags. I would of called the game commision told him mistaken kill and where to send my fine and got his name and that be the end of that hassle.But,I wouldn't be in that situation ifI shot it on my property,Cause I never tag my deer and would have that deer tag if a big deer like that ever occured.And it wouldn't be for the reason of a record, It would be the reason of takeing to a taxidermist to have it mounted and not for braggin rights.I was just raised being free if anyone wants to know what gives me this right to do a thing like this.

God Bless and safe journeys
