I have to admit I would be way more careful if that rule was implemented in Michigan. I have made the mistake before, but they were far away and shot with a gun. Now I consider myself an ethical hunter but I'm not sure if I would risk my hunting rights for the next year. I just love hunting too much. So what I would probably do is go home and get a tarp and do the best in-field butchering job I could do then bring the meat out in plastic bags stored in a backpack.

I would also rip up my doe tag and go buy another if possible, otherwise I wouldn't shoot anymore does that year.
