I still think the point is that if you don't tag it your breaking the law. Very simple really. Tag it, gut it, if it isn't good then you get another tag.
If there is a question about whether or not the meat is good then o.k., but at some point it seems common sense must prevail over blindly following the letter of the law. Say for instance you arrow a deer on a warm october afternoon but don't find it until late the next day. So there it is laying bloated and putrid in the hot sun. Gut it? I don't think so. Tag it? Not me. Imo, that wouldsimply be dumb!
Very well visual illustrated scenerio.

I personally think anyone that shoots a deer and fails to recover it before it spoils should burn the tag on the deer.

So you think people should be punished by burning their tags on a deer that turned during a shot? Lets say you gut shot a deer and you can't find it, Should you burn your tag? Lets say your deer swam out in a lake that was over your head in the winter and died, Should you burn your tag? Lets say your uncertain if you hit your deer at all, But a chance you did, Should you burn your tag? Personaly, I think you just made that up and wouldn't do it yourself. Personaly I don't know a single person who would do that.Only an idiot would even think of doing something like that.

I don't think the law specifies you have to tag it before you gut it. I believe the law is you must tag it before you move it though.
I can not speek for your state or anyothers but, here you tag it upon killing it. That is the minute you get to it and it is dead you must tag it. So yes here the law states you must tag it. Then if it is no good by no fault of your own you would be issued a new tag to use.

BTB - from the way i read it, it appeared to me that the baseball sized lump would have to be noticeable. and if it had lumps all on the side of its ribs, it prolly wasnt in it's beginning stages of being sick. so it would probably show signs that something was up. if you dont want to waste a tag, dont shoot it. thats how i see it.

Hung Bear (love people who create alternate names just to argue a point)

he is not saying he would LITERALLY light the tag on fire. he is saying that if u shoot it and find it after it goes bad, tag it anyway.

You think that is what he was saying? And do you allow the deer to do a 360 before you shoot it? That way you can inspect all sides and angles.

I guess the shoe fits more than one person on this forum.

you dont have to let the deer do a complete 360 (thats a full circle if u didnt know) to tell that a deer is limping or hair is missing or that the ribs are sticking out.

and i was just making sure that u knew that he doesnt really light fire to his tags....
