There was such an incident about 15 years ago, I recall it being the topic of discussion at a hunter ed instructor seminar. The DOW officers matched tags to elk carcasses until the party ran out of tags, then wrote citations for every elk carcass that couldn't be tagged. I forget the total fines from the incident but recall it was quite large.
