	Why Party Hunting is Illegal for Deer Hunting

		If party hunting were allowed, then a person could find, say, three other people who are not that interested in buck hunting (the spouse, kids, neighbors), or even deer hunting, but would go along anyway.
		One of the worst possible feelings for a young hunter is having to put his or her tag on a deer someone else shot.
