Gotta tag it, its illegal and unethical if you do not. Bad luck, but part of the game. They have nailed several guys here for wanton waste, not really poaching as you have a tag... but instead cherry pick what you want (rack, head, tenderloins), then leave the rest for the yotes. They come down hard on these people, even if they had a tag...

Never understood those people. If you hunt, and kill but do not want the meat then give it to someone or donate it for meat. It is senseless to harvest an animal and not utilize it.

I used to fish, and duck hunt as a teen. never really got into the ducks and gave them to the family down the road that was poor (had like 13 kids!). I got to shoot, and the ducks went to a family with children that NEEDED them more than me. In return, every so often their mother would send us down some homemade pies.
