Ethics question - Tagging deer
When you shoot, hit, but do not recover a deer.....you have to go on theexperience of yourself and others as to what your next step is. So....based on the situation I had occur, yesterday.....do I tag the doe, or not (If you didn't follow the thread....we lost blood trail after 300+ yds....grid searched for 5 hours, after that)?
For this question to be answered fairly....the number of tags one has should have NO BEARING on the answer. It's either a dead deer...or it isn't....and if it's dead....it must be tagged.

In MO, it's law that you are supposed to tag any animal you hit, whether you recover them or not....

If I can't find the critter, I darn well can't put a tag on it.
Question: Would you still go and register that tag (w/out bringing in an animal) at a game station?

RE: Ethics question - Tagging deer
This has nothing to do with anything.....other than what is the right thing to do.
Mobo......good point about your law. I bet you see that one broken a lot.....or....it simply encourages people to keep their mouths shut if they do injure a deer.
This has nothing to do with a person's harvests or anything of the sort. Furthest thing from my mind. If you can't find it......you didn't harvest it.
Do you tag it, though?
