Ethics Question: Do you notch your tag if you shoot an animal but can't recover it?

[Marbles]

No I do not notch my tag.

I believe it is illegal to notch your tag unless you harvest an animal. Maybe you could throw it in the fire or trash without notching it.

I stop hunting if I think I will wound animals. It has nothing to do with notching the tag. That is grandstanding.

Everybody who says they notch their tag is a self righteous egotistical who is most likely dishonest.

Legal expert in all 50 states now? Or just dishonest and egotistical?

I only lost one animal. Felt awful, we spent all day looking. Finally lost all sign in the rocks.
I chose to put my rifle away. I was a spotting scope guy, and meat packer the remai Der of the season.
