Does anyone know if it's possible for retailers to reprint tags.
Here's the scenario......a few weeks Buddy A shot a 4 point deer, and tagged it with the corresponding tag from his combo license. Come to find out once butchering the deer several days later, the deer was tagged with Buddy B's tag. Somehow, Buddy A and Buddy B had inadvertently had the other's tags in their packs. They both bought them at the same time, and somehow got them mixed up.
Nonetheless, Buddy A peeled Buddy B's tag off, and reaffixed the proper tag. Buddy A is now done hunting for the season after getting his deer. Buddy B has yet to get a deer, and wishes to continue hunting. The 4 or better portion of his combo license is still intact, however, the other portion isnt.
Morally there would have been no harm in Buddy B simply using Buddy A's tag as if it were his, however, it's obviously not legal.
Can Buddy B go to a retailer and have them reprint his tag? Or, does he have to buy another to be compliant?
I should also note that Buddy B's tag that was erroneously used to tag the deer is still somewhat intact, after carefully trying to remove it from the deer. I can't magine that conversation would go well however, if it were necessary to present that to a CO.
