Here is the background.

You live in a state where you can take 2 bucks per year. You are hunting one day and a legal buck comes into range and you mortally wound it. You look for it very hard and determine that you can not find it but you are 100% sure you killed it, and for the sake of this post it did die. Well the nextweek you are hunting a different stand and another legal buck walks into range, you shoot and recover this animal. Now if we can agree that the whatever you have that issues tags (NYSDEC in New York) issues them for management reasons most of the time. Thats why you only get 2 tags not 3.


This is the question.

You know that you have killed 2 bucks this season and have a tag left.

Do you hunt to fill that last buck tag?
