It doesn't amaze me. I have been told by a reputable source that some guys who make trips to Colorado damn near do the same thing, and tell others its the best way to go there and save some money. Each guy applies for a different type of animal permit, and whoever shoots an animal uses the corresponding permit to tag it. For example one applies for bear, another for mule deer, and one buys an over-the-counter elk permit. Don't know what they do if someone shoots the same type of animal on the same day, but I'd like to see them get caught.
