FLAGS< YES I know he used to be a be warden, and I have also known game wardens that broke the law too, after all they are only human, unless you think there NOT!
I am NOT trying to be anything but saying actual facts

person that KILLED the deer it the killer, and its HIS job LEGALLY to tag it

I cannot go shoot a deer and have a buddy tag it and me keep hunting

as I said again and maybe you folks just DON"T get it
I agreed the kid did the right THING, my point is it wasn't the legal thing and that's all

we ALL break laws on a regular basis I bet, doesn't mean we all get fined or arrested for doing so
and a SIMPLE example is, SPEEDING
I bet MOST folks do NOT follow every POSTED SPEED LIMIT sigh to a T at ALL times,
does it make us legal to NOT follow it
NO we ARE breaking the LAW
does law enforcement have the OPTION to look the other way, and use there discretion, YUP 100% they can do so, and do every day !

BUT doesn't change the fact we broke the law!
IF they WISHED to press the issue, we would have a fine, and would BE OUR Fault!
keep defending this all you like, I ain't saying kid did the wrong thing ethically, just did the wrong ting legally!
and a warden allowed it, MOST LIKELY using his discretion to ALLOW the tag to be passed on!
but had the warden NOT have been there , it again was legally a KILL by the KID and should have been HIS tag used
he STILL could have given the deer to the GUY if he wanted to!
and NOT been able to keep hunting for a second deer to KILL!
