Every section in this forum has an A S Shole.

Congrats on your kill.

I'll post a thread of my bear I shot last Sat. It dosen't have a tag on its ear either. Should give Mr Butthurt something else to fn cry over.

No one here is trying to be anything! The rules are the rules and we should all follow them! Its a part of the sport take of wild game.

[Sureshot357]

Seriously ss357, you need to get that sand out of your va@@na because its making you grumpy....

Lets go over how much experience you have in the field. When taking Hunter Safety (if you really took it) They talk about the rules. Sometimes people forget the rules of hunting. Mostly new hunters. Like You.

Hey whats going on. im a guy who has enjoyed going out and hunting, i started back in january 2010. ive tried all sort of different game.......boar, bear, deer, turkey.....and i have not been successful not once in all the times going out. kinda sucks. to make thing even more lame, i always go alone, all my friends are married or have girlfriends or arent into this kind of **** or havent figured out how to make time for both family and outdoor activities. i mean, i have a kid and a girl, but if i want to go hunting one weekend, i will. i live in southern california, city of whittier, and im in search for some hunting partners/buddies/pals/ people who enjoy hunting/bull****ting, drinking some beers after a day of hard hunting and are passionate about the sport. im still am a newbie to hunting, so any knowledge or expertise besides all the stuff you read on mags or see on those hunting shows would be awesome. drop me a line if you know of any hunting clubs or groups or want to start one near my area, it would be great to hunt with other people once in while. email me at devil83dog@hotmail.com

The law i quoted earlier is part of the sport. I am saying this with knowledge and expertise.

So according yo Sureshots rightiousness, "upon killing" meaning right when you shoot it you fill out the tag. Then theres the "...license shall be attached to the antler..." but because you killed it and the deer is not right in front of you your doing something illegal because the deer doesnt have a tag on it.

I think upon sureshots rightiousness, we have to tag the deer before we shoot it, that way the tag is ALWAYS on the deer. So we have to call a timeout, deer stops, we fill out tag, put it on the deer antler then "go" and shoot the deer. Problem solved, nothing illegal! yay!

Sureshot you WIN, your the best man! I LOVE you for being there to teach us everything we already knew!

I think it happens far to often where people shoot small bucks and don't hang a tag so they can have meat but still get after big boy.

This is a very serious crime and I hope you're not implying that something of this kind would be condoned in this forum or that the OP was on a fence about doing it. The assumption is that the tag is there and that there is absolutely no intent of poaching.

IVC I'm sorry to tell you this but that is the only assumption that will be made in terms of the law.....

Unfortunately when a simple law isn't followed there must be the assumption that there is the intent to poach. Sorry to tell you this but you are wrong. That is why we have laws.

I believe that most game wardens would see some grey area in terms of taking a picture in the field but I can guarantee you not one will allow a butchered deer without a tag and I can guarantee you it will be pursued as a poaching crime.

Just telling the facts thats all........

Once again good kill.....maybe the Op didn't know the rules but sounds like he did. If he chooses not to follow it that's his problem. I'm not saying SS357 didn't come off wrong....

Stick to the post.....nice deer should've tagged it....enough said.

[taperxz]

I can understand not tagging the animal in the field when taking pics first. No harm now foul but it IS supposed to be tagged while hanging and processing. If you want to leave it off and open yourself up to a ticket, have at it. If you forget and get a ticket, i bet that will be the last buck you "forget" to tag for the rest of your life.

Nice buck!

To the extent that this particular technical violation separates hunting from poaching, I would agree with you that it *is* a big deal, even if it's not directly an ethical issue with the anti-hunters. I stand corrected that it's not a very big deal.

Wish SS357 and you brought that point a bit sooner so we could have avoided a lot of comparison to traffic violations. Anything that remotely compares hunters to poachers is a very bad thing.

Thats the ONLY reason why the buck is to be tagged. It completes the legality of the legal take of that animal. No questions asked.

nice kill buddy

[mofugly13]

I agree that a buck should be tagged as per the Fish & Game code. I tagged my buck right after the kill, then removed the tag from my buck just before I skinned it in order to have the man who validated that tag take a photo of me and my buck. I did not re-attach the tag until I was done skinning. It sounds like I broke the law by not leaving the tag attached while skinning. I agree 100% with this statement:

"Unfortunately when a simple law isn't followed there must be the assumption that there is the intent to poach."

DId I open myself up to a violation by removing the filled out and validated tag for the 40 minutes it took to skin my deer?

Looks like the troll earned himself a ban. Congrats on the buck!

He was not trolling and did not get banned here I don't think.The argument about photo's with no tags have been around for awhile just check out JHO.
