Hunting just for the kill

[TEmbry]

You want someone to hunt for you, and you'll pay for the tag too. That's not legal in my state, and is actually a felony.

Show me the law, cause that is BS. Under the premises as you state it, you couldn't even pay for a girlfriends hunting license or a kids if you ended up with the meat in the end.


This entire thread has been pretty good entertainment for me. I've killed animals that I've given away, and I've killed animals I've eaten entirely by myself. People always speak as if less care is taken for those who give away meat. I may be different, but I worry even MORE about the condition of the meat when I know I will be giving it away. I'm not a picky eater and can eat about anything. When I give it away, I make sure every strand of sinew is trimmed away, no dirt or flies ever even got close to the meat, etc. I hunt for the hunt. Not the kill. Not the meat. (I enjoy all three a lot though).

Read the Colorado laws. Of course if you don't care about the laws you can do it your way.

I've hunted Co, I read them before I hunted there. I went back are reread them last night and you are wrong. You should read them.

5 miles , would you still kill if you were not aloud to collect the meat from that animal?

Read my cat example above.

I've killed all kinds of things that I've never collected the meat from before.......as has most every other predator hunter. In fact, I just killed a mouse today while cleaning up the patio. You want him?

Ok, you said you'd buy the tag. I'm guessing since you'd be getting the meat you'd also pay for expenses. So, according to the law you're paying them to hunt, or another way to look at it is you're buying the hunt/meat.

Here's the law. Good luck telling the warden you read the laws.

Felony Offence ... To sell, buy, or offer to sell, buy big game.

If it is just the "Kill" someone enjoys, there are a lot of easier ways to do it than a DIY backcountry or even outfitted hunt. Seriously you could make 15 bucks an hour in a processing plant, if it was truly the Act of killing you enjoyed.

Now if someone doesn't appreciate the wild game meat as much as their friends do i can understand that. My wife and kids really didn't appreciate the rutty old bull a few years ago. I guess since they weren't there as he bugled and raked and pissed all over they didn't fully appreciate the experience. (they said even the hamburger was tough).

I have yet to meet another hunter who just wanted to snuff out an animals life.

DONATING GAME MEAT
Donation certificates are required for all game-meat donations. Certifi- cates must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and
recipient; donor’s hunting license number; species and amounts donated;
date of kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no spe- cial form required. It must stay with the meat until completely consumed.
Donor and recipient are subject to bag and possession limits.
NOTE: A “like license” is a license for exactly the same species, sex, season
and method of take as a donor’s license.
1. You can donate to someone WITH or WITHOUT a like license:
a. Any amount of processed and packaged game meat, anywhere.
2. You can donate to someone WITHOUT a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
3. You can donate to someone WITH a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
c. the entire carcass, if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s like-license carcass tag is on
the meat, voiding both licenses.


Don't see anything about which party pays for processing or the license. In fact, since they allow you to donate unprocessed meat to people in any amount at their home I can't imagine they are assuming you are giving them meat and then planning to have them take it in and send you the bill.

Buying a license, or paying for someone's license is simply that.

I thought you knew the laws? You're not even in the right section of the brochure. I'm not talking about donating meat. I'm talking about you paying for someone to hunt for you. I read the law to you. That was quoted from the brochure.

Never mind. Do as you please.
