in maine if your hunting on your own land or private land you dont have to wear orange during the firarms season/ perhaps they were on private land??? as far as the deer being tagged...thats a grey area, we often shoot our deer a mile or more back in the nastiest maine woods and never put a tag on untill we reach the truck. they get ripped off and lost sometimes otherwise. could we be written up for it..yes but but if we tag it and drag the buck and lose the tag then your standing over a deer w/ NO tag in your pocket or on the deer so it looks as if you were deer hunting w/out a lisence/tag to begin w/. we take our chances and the wardens usually have pretty good common sense and never a problem
