Ehunter. There is a good chance that if you shoot him, his whole
shoulder will be gangrene. I don't know how it works in your
state, but up here DNR will issue you a new tag if the animal is
unfit for consumption. Gangrene poisons the blood, and the whole
animal. Then, depending on the officer, he may or may not let
you keep the rack. Even if they take it, our officers usually
get trophy animals mounted and display them in their own
offices. Anyway, good luck with your choice!
