Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Pretty sure the tag is gone, but you might want to ask your local warden about that. A few year's back I shot a really nice 10 point that had a big nasty gash on his flank from a buck fight. I chose not to eat that deer and would have been perfectly happy just to have the rack, but my local warden told me to reuse the tag on a doe if I wanted some meat (this county had a big deer herd and too many does), so I did.
