I don't mind getting "chewed" by folks who are either (a) condoning game law violations, or (b) simply wrong, which are, pretty much, the only two choices if you disagree with what I've said. And, it's not everyone. Quite a few have agreed that the deer should have been tagged (assuming that his state uses tags).
And, bottom line, the Original Poster had been gone for a week before I ever posted on the thread.
