FFTJ,

I have no problem with the way you do things

But even if I had only one tag (and I have) If I shot a deer and it was eaten by something, I would still make an attempt to ask DEC for another tag. If they see fit to allow me another tag, and I recieve it legally - I do not see how you can call that un-ethical. And I have never begged for anything.......well almost anything

And more power to you for ripping up that buck tag on the third day of a 2 month season because you failed to recover your buck(with the proper effort to find it), even though you can legally still hunt.
