Well I went back to my original post, just to be sure, and it was just as I remembered, not one word asking about the legal aspects of butchering OR killing deer, or anything about how I should report any income I might make to the IRS so........but...since its so important to you, I would just like to point out that this is a hunting forum ,not a IRS collection forum, so to expect people to support the IRS as much as they support the legal taking of game is a bit silly IMO. As far as picking and choosing laws, I think thats just part of reality, for example its illegal to break into some ones house and try to kill them, its also technically illegal in NY to shoot someone who kicks in your door and tries to attack you and your family, w/ out trying to leave out the backdoor 1st. Now are you telling me that there arent times when we must pick and choose which laws to obey?
