If someone you know killed more deer than they are allowed or didn't tag a deer would you turn them it to the law.

You didn't offer:

"No I would not turn them in."


Your poll is skewed

would talk to them about their violation, then it would be up to them.

I really don't put myself in this situation, I don't associate or hunt with the type that break game laws! Lets just say I keep it 100% legal!

depends on the violation and if it's ongoing. everyone makes mistakes but if it's a total disreguard for the law...it's a different ball game.

Blackmail them

Where I hunt there are plenty of deer and plenty of tags available. Even with the cut back in dmp's (doe permits) here in NY I still had 4 tags of my own and here in NY you can "sign over" dmp's to another hunter so If I really wanted the tags I could have 6. I really don't want more than 2 deer a year and I can't imagine anybody "needing" more deer than they are entitled to. That being said, however, If somebody wants to take an extra deer or two that they don't have tags for and they're not going to waste the meat then fine, I really don't care. It's not going to hurt me or the deer herd. So given all that, my answer is no. I wouldn't say a thing to anybody. Now if I lived in a different area and the situation was much different, I might not feel the same way.

I usually go talk to the person and ask he/she what they are doing. Then let them have the decision of being the bigger man/woman in the situation.

I think it would depend on the violation ...I would try and talk to the hunter ..maybe try to reason with him and explain my opinion ..but unless it was a case of poaching ...deliberate tresspassing ..road hunting or theft I doubt I would turn them in ...I am not the German Gustopo .
