I agree, poaching to me. Although party hunting is legal where I am, the person with the tag must be within 5 km's and you must be able to contact them at any given time. Contact can be as simple as a whistle signal or a walkie-talkie/cell phone.
Thats the point i am trying to make. If the state laws allow party hunting, and the owner of the tag is out there with the kid, then it is perfectly legal and ethical, but if the owner of the tag is not with him, or the state does not allow party huntign, then this situation is illegal and enethical.
Guys calm down, quit getting in a cat fight over this. Sky, i can see where one deer in your case may make a huge difference, but in many states it is one of thousands, so not as big a deal. Its like with me and turkey hunting, in most states your only allowed one turkey and many people dont get their one, but in my state i am allowed three, and seldomly get less then that, for our turkey population is gigantic, well others is small, so in CA shooting more turkeys then three, well illegal, is not going to hurt the population, but may help it in fact...
