I have a big game hunting license and modern firearm tag I failed to fill. I have a friend who is older and with black powder tag. I am wondering if it is legal for me to go with him while not carrying any firearm and obviously not doing any of the shooting, but to help him with gutting and hauling if he was to get a deer. If I used a deer call, but no weapon, would that be me "hunting"? I was looking at the definition of "to hunt" and I feel like doing that might not be kosher -- maybe a sort of "capture"?
(33) "To hunt" and its derivatives means an effort to kill, injure, harass, harvest, or capture a wild animal or wild bird.
