Default Dumb deer regulations.......

Finished working on the basement tonight and found an old deer hunt rag down there. Article on dumb deer regs in it. So beings it's off season, maybe we can chuckle (or cuss) at some of these.

OK: 10 years ago they passed a law protecting white deer after a young hunter shot one and set off a media went nutz. (No science backingthe law - albinism is a genetically inferior trait.

VA: Illegal to use a muzzle loader at any time in Southampton County.

NH: VERY IMPORTANT! It is illegal to "negligantly shoot, wound or kill a human being while hunting, or abandon a wounded or killed hunam being." (Would it therefore be legal to intentionally shoot, wound or kill"?

IL: For firearm seasons (shotgun, muzzy, handgun), the hunting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. During the late muzzy season, that means hunters must climb out of their stands about 40 minutes before last light - when most deer activity occurs.

WI: You may legally harvest a buck with antlers in velvet during the hunting season. But there is a statewide law prohibiting possession of any velvet antlers.

Uggggggggggg
