abc,
It's in their story,it's already admitted that they/he knowingly shot from a motorized vehical,and the son tagged it after the father had killed it.That they can't get around.

As for the transporting,I can see them getting off on that,cause what else are they going to do,get a wanton waste of a game animal ticket.

But you are right it's up to the courts to decide.
