i seen all the horns fall off of a shot 6 point that fell down a rocky hill..is that a legal deer..yes..it had 6(3 on each side)...
It would only be a legal buck in PA if you recovered one of the antlers with 3 legal points. Otherwise it would be an antlerless deer and would need to be tagged with an antlerless tag.

A WCO may cut you a break and consider it as a mistaken kill rather than an intentional violation, but it would still be a violation.

Please quit, you have no idea how we enforce the law. The hunter would be giving the benefit of the doubt on the point still being one inch.

Thanks a lot. I often wondered if the WCOs enforced the one inch law and I am sure glad to hear that they don't. Now we won't have to pass on those almost legal 5 pts. I printed your post and will put it in my license holder or wallet for future reference, if I have to show it to another WCO.

A buck with g3 points of that length would have most assuredly had g2 points exceeding one inch. Never seen it go the other way.

This buck is NOT legal and should not of been shot! Don't matter that it WAS a 6 point it was not a 6 when shot so therefor making it illegal! Those busted g2's don't look an inch to me. Jmo guys I would of passed knowing it's only a 4 point. This is like shooting a buck and kicking horns off to try to make it so u can use a doe tag! IMO

So, did the PGC change the definition of a legal buck to give hunters an excuse for shooting buck with points that are less than 1" or did they change it to protect more 1.5 buck? I thought you supported ARs and the PGC? Now you seem to want to make more 1.5 buck legal.

Are you saying you never saw a rack of that size where the G2s were just a bump or entirely absent?
