OK, When I was 15 I made a mistake,NOT on purpose. In doe season I shot a buck that had its antlers broke off.One side was 3 1/2 inches and the other 2 inches.Never seen them. That was a illegal deer in doe season in pa.. I lived on a farm and dad had criop damage permits so we used one of them to tag it
With the crop damage permit it was still legal so you did Ok.
Good Luck on futher hunts
