I think it would be interesting to compare the opinions of those who think it's fine and dandy for the OP not to tag his buck, thereby "probably" violating game laws, and seeing how they feel about Ted Nugent's unintentional violation in California, or about David Morris's completely legal so called "game farming" or about legal "high fence" hunting.
I'd be willing to bet that some of the folks condoning a possible game law violation here would be willing to string Ted up for violating a game law, and would be openly hostile to certain other legal hunting...
