Released black tails?
What is the the law about shooting black tails, Thats been cut loose? Released from a pet zoo? Why did not the PGC not get involved to much with this? 400$ for each one to be captured with a dart gun? Can I sh\hot everyone I want? Can I shot these Sika deer? You know the ones with the horns that look like the devil horns pastry? Just curious abot these deers being released and nothing being done about it? These deer went and live on SGL.
You all wat to see this? Come to the new holiday inn in Du Bois Pa. SGL 77
Just walk up behind that new holiday inn and you will find your exoctics. 50 plus black tails and cross breeds of other deer.

They are fair game. 2 sika deer were just put down that escaped real close to PGC headquarters. Exotics are not protected by game law and are a threat to the native, wild populations. Treat them like wild hogs and take them out.

Even if they do get out they are still someone’s property. So, even though shooting them wouldn’t be a violation of the game law it would still be punishable under the crimes code.
That doesn’t mean there is no punishment for releasing them, allowing them to escape or allowing them to roam free though. It is unlawful to allow them to be free so if exotics do get free we generally allow them a short period of time to capture them. If they fail to capture them then we have the responsibility of protecting the wildlife from the threat of any potential disease or harm from domesticated exotic wildlife. When the situation is warranted authorized Officers will remove the threat by either lethal or non-lethal means.
The public is not authorized to use lethal means unless otherwise directed by either Legislative or Commission regulatory action.

How does this square with all recent press regarding thePGCposition concerning the unlimited killing of hogs? If I recall correctly, the perception exists that any "wild" hog is fair and legal game. How would it be handled if the hogs just escaped from a preserve and the hunter didn't know ? I also can remember a few years back, an article stating that some escaped rams were legal game. Is the law different for different escaped exotics?

The point I am attempting to make is that a person can find them selves in a lot of trouble and paying a high cost if they just take it upon themselves to kill an exotic animal when they see one in the wild. The best policy is to report it to the authorities and then be guided by their advice.
