Shooting the deer after legal hours. O.K. was it just a minute or two aftersunset or before sunrise, something that's done ALL the time, orwas thehuntersystematically hunting in the wee hours by moonlight in blatant disregard of the law. IMO, in the former 500 is way too much and the latter, way too little.
Your splitting hairs! You don't honestly beleive that all 5 of these guys shot 2 deer each a little after shooting hours. Come on Sylvan your alot smarter than that.
How about another. Not having the right tag. Was it a violation because the hunter shot a doe and didn't even possess a doe tag (again a blatant disregard for the law) or was it because he thought the spikes were 3" long making it a legal buck but it turns out the longest was only 2 7/8" which technically would require a doe tag. Again imo it matters. In one example the 500 is too little, the other too much.
Not having the right tag is a serious violation asfar asI'm concerned. 500.00 too little. And the 3 inch rule in Pa has been dead since 2000 or 2001 Must have 3 points to on side or in some other areas 4 points to a side.
What should the fine be for breaking the law?
Enough to ensure people never do it again or never try it in the first place.
