What if I let my son shoot an extra deer and let him use my tag? We are both hunting together and I figure the deer has a lot better chance of survival if he shoots than if I do. Or how about if I let my other son who's 11 and passed the hunter safety course in VT shoot a deer and use my license, is he a poacher? If we still lived in VT he could get a license. There's a huge difference between poachers and people who break the rules a little bit. I will always put my kids first when it comes to a hunting opportunity. I know some other dirt bag fathers that would shoot a deer with their kids tag.
both are illegal and not a way i want my kids to grow up hunting..no,he is not poacher, he is OUTLAW..
as deer get less MORE hunters will try to find ways to get more deer..TAGS from others are way they will do it..
at least you are honest ,no doubt that what you suggested is going on and going to get worst..
only chance to stop it is, 1 deer and your done,then the bad guys are going to be able to be watched when they are seen dragging out deer on regular basis..
with all LEGAL tags and permits last few years, no one could put 2 and 2 together..
make it 1 deer , your out of woods and things will change..
