So, I've heard a few rumors of people filling someone else's tag. Unfortunately I can't remember who these people were so don't ask. In the first case it was the neighbor of an elderly man who had land owner preference tags. The neighbor supposedly just shot the elk for which he had a tag forthan gave the meat to the land owner. In another case there was a father-in-law with a tag and son-in-law hunting. While out hunting the father-in-law and son-in-law spotted the elk, the father handed the rifle to the son-in-law and let him shoot the elk. Now, I've read the regs and it says in no uncertain terms that that is illegal.
Now my questions is, legality aside, is it an unethical or immoral thing to do? After all, someone has a tag for 1 animal, 1 animal gets killed, and nobody knows the difference. I'm just wondering what some others opinions are on the subject.
