I was unable to get out on the Pa opener due to the passing of my dad. I did however, hunt on Monday Oct. 3. On my way into the woods, what did I come across?--A SPIKE that had half of its hind quarters eaten. I inspected this animal on the way out and found that some #$%hole hunter double lunged this animal. The shooter must haverealized it was not legal, and left it to rot. Judging by the shot placement(perfect), the buck had to be fairly close, so I don't know how this so-called hunter could not see the rather large 7-8 inch spikes. If that person was any kind of sportsman, or had any nads--he would have notified the game commisison--Yes he would have been fined $25, lost the antlers, but would have kept the meat instead of letting it rot in the woods.
