RE: Help with ethical question
If after checking with your local game management personnel you find out you can do this within the law your problem is solved.
If you are informed that the only legal way to do this is to use your tags so be it. You have to make a choice of whether to trade your Deer to retian hunting permission or become a poacher and use his tags. The only "Ethics Police" you have to deal with is yourself. You're either ethical or your not, there is no middle ground.
The aproval or disaproval of the people on this board should not nor does it effect what is or isn't ethical.
