Reply to comment by lantonas in Purchasing Venison for the holidays by vtbb

This happens so much especially within families, I really don't think wardens even bother with it just as long as each deer has a tag.

I'd be willing to bet that the wardens will gladly pursue a case of somebody plainly admitting that their friend is shooting deer and using his tags.

We're talking about fines, restitution, license suspension, possible weapon confiscation. And this goes for both parties.

Sure, but you would have to get someone to quite literally turn themselves in. We're not talking reddit post. I don't think wardens are going around looking for this. It literally has to drop in their lap.

He posts enough personally identifying information on Reddit that a Warden might have a fun time putting all the pieces together.

The town he lives in, his job, his age, his previous jobs, previous places he has lived, how many kids he has, the country his wife is from, how long they have been married, his fantasy football team name, and even how tall he is. lol

After that all the Warden has to do is knock on the door and ask him to take him to the kill site for his deer.

And since is actually in New Hampshire they can make an entire spectacle of it for TV!

This is not like it was 40 years ago. It use to be a common open secret that the husband and wife would get a tag, the husband would use the wife’s tag and no one cared. That’s changed. The law hasn’t but the enforcement has.

It’s the same as in 1980 you get drunk and go off the road the cop would drive you home, and tell you to sober up, today they bring you to jail. Everything is stricter now
