I'm with VAhuntr. I have been going down to either West Virginia or Maryland before Thanksgiving Day to hunt for years. Back when Pa. had a lot of big deer it was not unusual to see a big bodied deer laying in the medial of the interstate with the head missing and caped down to the shoulders (Pa. Rifle season opened in a few days). I often thought what stories would be told about the "Big one" they got. The smaller racked deer (I assume) just had the rack cut off. There is a hefty fine for doing this in Pa. but it does not stop them. Same with a deer laying along the road with the hind quarters cut off, it may have been a car kill instead of a poacher.
