In some states, if you are a land owner, you can harvest over the tag limit as long as it meets certain criteria. A few rules that come to mind are, as long as it does not leave your property(harvested, processed, cooked, eaten on the land), or if it has been a nuisance animal that has eaten crops. I don't trophy hunt(although I wouldn't pass up a big buck), it is simply for organic meat, but I always follow state guidelines. Even if I have the chance to take the deer of a lifetime, I respect the rules and know that they are in place for good reasons like population and herd management.
