We've never had any issues with party hunting, but this is from a direct result of never shooting enough deer where guys needed to use other guy's tags.
Knowing how most guys are......they'd be cool with keeping the rack, even a small one, and letting the guy who's tag they shot it on keep the meat.
You bring up a good point though---if someone invited me to a concert or game and the ticket I was using cost the same as a regular gun deer tag?
It'd be a huge dick move to not expect to cover the cost of the ticket. Unless they were corporate seats or some shit where the dude didn't have to pay out of pocket for them.
One year I drew the only doe tag for our party of ten that year....no one else even put in for the lottery....AKA "bought their license" for the same unit they've hunted for twenty-plus-years prior to September.
Obviously there weren't a lot of deer that year but one guy that always claims to see a bunch said he had thirty does walk by his stand. I was like, "WTF Man!? Why didn't you shoot one!?!?" since I told everyone I had a doe tag and my deal was that I'd split the meat with anyone who filled my tag....so shoot away. I made it real clear...crystal meth clear....that I would gladly make rounds to guy's stands and take turns gutting, dragging out, and running does back to the cabin in the event two or three hit the ground opening morning......
.....wishful thinking on my part.
