ETHICS - WOULD U CHEAT?
OK, let's set the scenario.
You have someone "on the inside" of a state department that issues deer/turkey permits to qualified hunters who are required to apply for a chance at a certain set number of permits viaa lottery system.
However, there's aguy "on the inside" who can just issue you a permit months and months before any of the permits reach any applicants hands. No lottery necessary. In fact he can sometimes even "take care of you"before anyone is even allowed to start applying.
What are you going to do?

RE: ETHICS - WOULD U CHEAT?
I really can't honestly say I wouldn't take the offer, but I don't have to go through any lottery to get a tag so I really don't know. I am sure a lot of people are going to say they would not do it, but until face to face with the situation no one will really know for sure. If it was a situation where I have never been able to draw a tag for an area and then was offered one and did not even have to apply. I would say I would probably take the offer. As with a lot of things in life it is all about who you know.

I'm with whitetaildave....We are blessed here in Indiana not to have to draw for a tag for anything so I couldn't really tell you....but I think that I'd like to say no I wouldnt get caught up in the scam or whatever BUT it would be a whole different ball game if I was standing face to face with it knowing if I declined this there is a good chance I would not get to hunt that year. And when hunting is your passion it would be hard to gamble with something like that....

First of all, I dont think I ever want a guy to offer to "take care of me." I think I may have vometed a little. And secondly, I guess it all depends on how bad you want the stamp, and the consequences you are willing to face. If you feel no guilt in doing this, and you are willing to take the consequences if something goes wrong, then do it.

I don't know what I would do. Since I am never in the click, and never get the inside knowledge of anything, I would probably be turning the scammer when I heard my buddy talking about it. Thats a more realistic scenerio. Hard to say, cause I have never in the click of things.

Well, you got two different people voting here, you got cheaters for the first selection, and liars for the second two.

RE: ETHICS - WOULD U CHEAT?
Seems like the Friday afternoon folks are the cheating type and the early morning folks are the honest type. When I voted this morning there was only 1 vote to take the offer compared to 4 votes to ignore the scam and 5 votes to turn the guy in. Since then, 10 more have voted to take the offer and only 1 more has voted to turn the guy in!
