Ethics come to play when you tag a P/Y set of horns and then carry them out of the same woods that you left last weeks doe to rot in.

A P/Y would be different. Then you at least have something to take home (antlers). With the doe you have nothing.

I'm wondering....for you guys who wouldn't tag it.....if your tunes would change if it was a P&Y buck?

here's the thing, if you're huntin an anterless tag for instance tryin to put meat in your fridge and yotes get it first, would you carry the head out to mount??? only reason I'd tag a P&Y deer that had been mutilated/destroyed before recovery would be to remove the rack... no meat to be had from your mutilated deer or no rack to bring out... no tag
if you hit one with your car should you tag it instead???

I dont see how tagging the deer makes you feel any better, the outcome it still the same, the price of the tag is not the issue to me. You still failed that animal, if you tag something that your are going to leave in the field then you are simply doing to make your self feel better. The only reason i would ever tag a doe that has been destroyed is if that is what the DNR advised me to do. I dont see how putting a piece of paper on dead animal keeps your integrity.

A bunch of you where raised different than me. I was raised to believe that if I drew blood I killed it. If I only had one tag and I drew blood my hunting was over.
When I was growing up we only got one tag per year. The whole "I'd tag it if I could buy another tag and keep hunting" BS I see on here is sickening. Ehtics and morals are black and white, not gray!

Okay,
I’ll go out on a limb here for the sake of being completely honest.
In this scenario I would not tag the doe, and I would tag the P&Y buck.
The doe has nothing that I want to leave the forest with, the buck does. If I’m going to take any piece of the animal out, I must tag it, because I am transporting it.
Sorry if you don’t like it, well, not that sorry…

I would tag it then call the warden and see if there's anything that could be done so I could get some meat on the table. They may give a doe tag.
