Question---How did the Officer know that you had killed a doe and not tagged it in the early season unless you openly told him? Just possessing the doe tag would not be a violation unless you told the Game Warden that you had taken a deer and not tagged it with that tag you had in your pocket. It sounds like you made statements to him that have resulted in that ticket when if you had not said anything there would be no reason to issue a ticket because you weren't violating the law for shooting the buck if you had a valid tag with you to put on it at the kill site. Tell the judge what happened and ask for leniency if you have a good record.
