As far as people putting other family member's tags on their kill so that they can continue to hunt.............legal some places and not others - that is understood.

But I believe in the end it is good for the management of the herd. The folks issuing the tags are issuing the amount of tags that they would like to see harvested to balance the herd. So this helps keep the herd at a healthy level.

Or am I mistaken?

Then to people heading out after sun up...........

Lots of good reasons posted by Jeff. But occasionally we will do it. Let all the guys get out early and have the late guy get out and kinda "still hunt" to his stand with the goal of it ultimately turning into a little half-hearted mini drive. You would be suprised how many times we bag deer as they walk away from sounds they don't like.
