I just saw a BB brought in to our local country deer processor. I was there to pick up some scraps for trapping bait and after dark a guy brought him in for processing. Nice deer, didn't bother anyone there that he is hitting the ziplocks.


On another note, two years ago our camp had to pitch in and do a search of a set of forks. A guy shot one and started dragging it in a few inches of snow, when he go's 200 yds he looks back and they are gone! We pitched in and kicked the snow back down the trail and found both of them. That was the in the first week of buck season.
Antlers do drop before we are done with hunting. Not the majority, but as was alerady posted a percentage of them do.

and with our emphasis on increasing doe kill in pa that means we take more of them with the antlerless harvest. Its just a fact of life, we have done it for a long time in Pa. Even back before Pa developed an antler fetish.
