If Im alone no/yes? I think if you're with someone who already took his doe you're set.....buddy system....

If I'm alone.....NO. with someone YES, but hopefully they earned their buck and haven't taken it yet.

I mean if you're talking about just cutting it up at your place, but if you want it mounted, youll need a tag etc....so now you're alone and have a buck on the ground and need to harvest a doe ASAP and call in and earn your buck tag? way too much going on to just take him without someones buck tag around....

in some states tags are transferrable which is nice in some ways because of the buddy system etc....

say you get 1 buck tag and your friend already took a nice buck, and you still havent, whether its abuddy or father.....I say hey if monster walks by take him, but not 150" monster....180" monster, etc...stuff like that it makes sense, but for the poacher who just shoots anything and everything then goes and finds tags from people, that's not right.

I'd say it depends.....if someone near you had a buck tag, that would help, if not it would suck....
