my82cam , your Inbox is full too..... Like you didn't have enough trouble.

I got some little button spikes in the garage you could glue on...

Let it go, you might not hear about it, I sure wouldn't draw attention.

Here is the link to the twra webpage about deer seasons

Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency - Deer Hunting Seasons

Scroll down and read the section named Special Season Quota Hunts Eliminated

The last sentence is the important one...

It sucks the game warden gave you bad info. I would have taken his word also. Hope your friend doesn't get in trouble.

I skipped right over that sentence about the county being antlered only if it's not on the chart. That's the kicker. Why do you need a law degree to shoot at deer?

Perhaps you were in the edge of Macon county instead of Jackson when the doe was shot. (wink,wink)

I dunno, I sure thought I saw those two hunting over in the edge of Smith county saturday...kinda foggy that morning. IIRC (nudge,nudge)

What deer? The one that you found already shot on your property? Damn poachers. Good on you guys for trying to tag it so it would get counted in the census.

Exactly now chop it up process it and bury the body to help mother nature.

During the check in process, the clerk checking in the deer should ask the following questions of the hunter:

Was it a Male or Female?

If Male, How many points?

Weapon used? (I think they ask this)

Was the deer killed on a WMA?

If no, WHAT COUNTY?

I am sure that the clerk simply forgot to ask you what county you killed the deer in. I am sure the clerk simply assumed that you killed the deer in Jackson county. Had they asked, I am sure you would have told them the county that you legally killed the deer in...

[my82cam]

not a bad idea whiskey! she didn't ask what weapon or if it was on wma or not. i wonder if it has to get reported to twra by someone or if it automatically gets sent to them that it was an incorrect check-in.

Its clear the guy wasnt poaching, it was an honest mistake. my advice is to stop talking about it on a public website, and if it is discovered take your licks and keep going. I would bet they wont persue any charges on it thoguh with the circumstances you have stated. My .02
