So as most of you know P.A. has antler restrictions. Depending on the area you hunt, the deer must have at least 3 or 4 points on one side for it to be a legal kill. A guy I know went hunting this afternoon and shot a buck. Yup, another P.A. buck down. The thing is, the buck isn't legal. He swears that when he shot the deer it was standing in brush and the deer appeared to be legal. I've personally had this happen in rifle season but didn't shoot. Well, the guy had a good shot withthe deershead behind brush at 30 yards and he took it. Turns out, the deer is a really wide and high spike. If a deer is taken by accident in P.A. there is a slight fine, I believe it to be $25, I'm not really sure, and I think they get to keep the deer but not the rack. The deer was taken on his own private land and he's really an honest guy, but does he report it as an accidental kill? This guy lives back in the cut...probably about 3 or 4 miles from a neighbor and ownsmany many acres and buys his license each year so I believe it really was an honest mistake. It might not be the best decision but I told him not to worry about it. IMO the Game Commission gets plenty of money each year and does very little around here to give back to the environment or wildlife and its not like the deer was taken out of season or with illegal equipment. Whata ya'll think?
