Is that Tanya's rifle or did they play a trick on you?

I know two folks in the last four years who had to make that, "I shot two bulls on one carcass tag" call to CPW due to dropping #1 where he stood. Glad you had two tags.
I actually just set my gun down to help. Then took a few pics before I saw it in the background and moved it. That would have been funny though!

For sure, I think going the cover up route there's a likely additional 2-3 violations and probably ends up exceeding the nts available before long term revocation.

Do you feel more accomplished sticking a buck like that when you have scouted him and have days' of effort into the result? Or when (like this one) you bank on your experience/knowledge to hunt habitat and kill an unknown?

Well I'd have to say the pre-scouted bucks are best and often bigger, but since the hard winter of 16/17, then all the NR tag reductions, I'm thankful for what I can get anyway I can get it if you know what I mean. At the end of the day it's all buck hunting and enjoyable! (most days anyway lol)

Well, sounds like it worked out.

I’d rather throw myself at their mercy than commit another violation trying to cover up the first one.

What say @mtwarden ?

I think all wardens when a violation is uncovered and the individual(s) are honest about it, will get treated better than those who lie, try to cover up, etc.

I don’t think wardens though are telling folks that they can’t plead not guilty though. Everyone has that opportunity.
