I am not real sure what Ohio would do in this case. I was hunting out of state when this happened. I make a habit of taking animals that are sick or wounded out of the herd. I am also a meat hunter so if it was a 150 class buck I would ask for the antlers when I turned it in but they sure cant fill my freezer. If I couldnt have them then its no big loss. Except to my ego. hehe The question that started this post was an in general question, whether you all believe that if an animal is unusable, then a free tag should be given. I personally believe they should due to promoting ethical hunting practices.
