I hate to say it, but I think Mr. Richardson is right. Once you have taken possession from the place of shooting and gotten game to a) your automobile, you are clear of the law. Otherwise you could prosecute someone for leaving game in their freezer too long and then throwing it out. Is it a mark of our affluence/obesity that someone could throw out two months of meat so carelessly, much less reduce the beautiful beasts these once were to litter?
