I appreciate the kind words and I understand the harsh ones. I certainly deserve them. Perhaps part of my problem was that my understanding of PA law is that property owners are NOT required to allow anyone on their property even if they have law enforcement with them. And the contentious feelings between the local property owners led me to my course of action.

I know you all sympathize with me when I say I was sick to my stomach over this and had a difficult time sleeping on Saturday night. As much as I wanted to retrieve my trophy, my concern was more for the suffering of the deer and what turned out to be a senseless killing of it.
