Nearly every big game animal I have ever taken was witnessed by a Game Warden. In some states, they have observation spots that make it seem like there is a warden behind every bush. Know the regs, don't do anything stupid, and there's nothing to worry about.

And, yes - Every state I hunt in considers a weapon used to dispatch a wounded animal the same as "hunting" with that weapon. If it's not a legal weapon, you shouldn't use it.
