Default RE: A sad day today.

I think the law is stupid. It sure puts an emphasis on the antlers being more important than the deer. Anyway - if you just had the head and told the officer it was a road kill, he'd want to see the body. You don't need a roadkill fee to determine if someone poached a deer. And $10 a point roadkill law isn't going to deter someone from shooting a buck for the horns anyway. If the law was so brilliant, why can you not find anything about it in the regulations book or on their website. I had to contact the game commission to ask about it and they coudn't tell me why. One officer said it was to keep people from running over bucks with their cars on purpose. How in the world could you plan that anyway???? Do you know exactly when and where a buck is going to cross a road so you can plan to be driving down it at the exact same time? I'd buy lottery tickets if I had that kind of power. It's just another shady way to get money. The only solice is knowing that I could get a 140" 8-pointer for less than someone else pays for basket-racked 9-point. Do you have to pay for a bunch of 1 inch stickers, too?
