RE: Ask for stricter AR in Pa 1/23
Isn't the first rule in shooting "Identify your target"....Personally I can't tell you the last time I ever shot a button buck for a doe. I've spent enough time in the woods to tell the difference between a doe and a fawn to not make that mistake....and when in doubt, I didn't shoot, bow or gun. Not condemning anyone who shot a button, but I think it's preventable....like someone said, he mistakenly shot a bb...mistakely, it happens but it can be prevented by not pulling the trigger. And if one is mistakenly taken or intentionally for that matter, this is the first time I'll agree with with wingbar and say it should be tagged as a male deer. If one has multiple doe tags, the next shot should be positive to not make the same mistake, no difference than AR and shooting a 4 pt in a 3 pt on a side county, Identify the target and when in doubt, don't shoot....the deer buck or doe might live another year and that can't hurt either sex.
