Removing game seal for pictures

[johny]

Just my opinion but if you are seen attaching a tag that was previously attached a CO will have good reason to suspect this tag was alredy on another animal. I too hate the tags in a picture so "my" way of doing it is to snap a few as the deer lays before touching it then notching my tag, setting it aside taking the bush pics I want then attaching the tag. If a CO wants to gripe so be it. I think most would understand. Im not recommending this as it still is not legal but its my way.

Same for me oaknut.
It take just a couple minutes to take some good pics, then the tag goes on.
There is often a difference between intent of law and letter of law, especially for hunting and fishing.

For all the guys who support the tag immediately regulation--- have you ever "party fished" ?

Early in your post a retired CO responded and you failed to accept his advice.

YUP done everyone... i suport the tag thing on open forum cause if your stupid enough to take a picture with out a tag on it and show every Tom ,Dick and CO on the internet you get your fill... just like the guy that shot the massive bear on nov dec oodmag no tag and its piled up on rocks... yes take your picture of the deer bear or whatever with out a tag on it but dont post on a open fourm.. or you get what you may not like a huge fine.. and there is more to it than just not tagging ... its a 250 dollar fine for transporting a illeagle animal and some other fines and even confiscation of everthing involved in the animal from gun to trucks

So here is a scenario, what if the tag holder is 4km away by atv and while waiting for him to arrive I snap a few pics what then?? We are following all applicable laws?

EXACTLY !
Just plain old common sence, which appears to be lacking in a lot of posts.

That's great and shows common sense, however that wasn't the OP's question as posed. He asked about removing a tag after attachment.

I say do as you please for the picture but just keep in mind how a CO may see it. As I posted earlier, I know someone who was charged because the sticky halves didn't meet properly, giving the CO the impression an attempt would be made to use it again.

Some States I hunt in the US don't even use the antiquated tag. You simply kill a deer a day from Oct-Feb with varying maximums for total allowed for the year.

Some of these answers on here are the reason why people don't ask questions on here. He was asking for some clarification from people he would expect have more experience on the subject and some of you are people can't help a fellow member without twisting the question a hundred ways. Numpty, if you want a straight forward answer that may help you out in the future just PM me and I'll do my best to help you out.

Here is my question to you and lets see your straight answer Did you read all the posts in this thread ? He even got an answer from a retired CO and it wasn't good enough for him so you can well understand I'm sure of why things get a bit twisted at times Read every post .

[greatwhite]

Klums's he did get some straight answers at the beginning of this thread including from a retired CO. Not sure what more he was looking for. Seems to me he just wanted someone to say it was OK and to go ahead. From some of the comments others felt he was looking for the same.
