Sometimes with ethical/moral decisions, there is no "best", so we have to settle for "least bad."I agree it was fine and he should have been a man and tagged it. He loaded his bigger buck and left that one laying. When I got home I was faced with a moral dilemma. He was long gone and the deer needed tagged. No matter what decision I made it would be wrong. Had I called the Game Warden I would have zero evidence Dale shot it. He could easily claim one of my sons shot it and then where am I at? There was no way in hell it was going to go to waste. It needed tagged so even though it was immoral and illegal I placed my wife's tag on it. He was then banned from here.
Random thought: Be a man and take responsibility.
FWIW, I agree with your choice.
