Sad discovery
Found 3 different buck with less than 3 point today, 2 spikes and 1 4 points. Heard the shot just before daylight, never did find the shooter, if any of PA game commission read this here's the coordinate
18 296828E
4419274N
Adams County, Franklin Township
they're all piled up right besides the power lines, not a proud day to be a hunter.

RE: Sad discovery
Boomerang,
You found 3 illegal bucks and you are just one person?........Geez that is sad.
Why everyone can't take the time to properly identify an animal before they shoot is mindboggling. If you aren't 100% sure put the damn saftey back on.
The mentality and mindset of the majority of hunters in PA is so bassackwards its embarassing sometimes.......just listen to guys talk at the local sporting good store, or butcher or wherever and most times you walk away just shaking your head.
I hate to even picture what is happening all over the state if a few people in your neck of the woods can't control themselves.
Please contact the game commission directly with that information......those deer don't need to completely die in vain.

Yes call this number, (877-877-9107) They'll direct you to a local WCO so these violations can at least be documented.
Franklin Township? That's in western Adams Co. near Cashtown? Must be a bunch of losers hunting over there, I'm surprised trash like that is even able enough to even bring a deer down, most likely the kind of people that only touch a gun once a year, and buy a license the night before rifle season 'cause every other guy they know is doing it. I hunt the other side of the county in Huntington Township, people were shooting but not hitting. I was one of the few dragging deer Monday in that area.
I was looking forward to seeing more larger adult buck in the next few years.
It's ashamed we still have lawbreakers out there among us, who shoot and throw away that kind of future that was to benefit the rest of us.

It's a shame AR or no AR, we still will have wack-offs that shoot first and think later if ever! Why even shoot at something that is marginal. What does it prove? If you need freezer meat shoot a doe. If you need that 1 1/2 year old "rack" , God bless ya!<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Sad discovery
it makes you sick when someone doesn't follow the law. I hunt for meat and it makes me even sicker to hear about all that waste. I hope they catch the ones responsible.

RE: Sad discovery
It is sad to say but that is the mentallity of the typical RICKY RIFLE hunter. It p*&^ me off when I hear stories like that. God forbid you don't shoot your trophy 4 point this year. OK I am done just venting.

RE: Sad discovery
Just thought I let everyone know all 3 of the buck still there, talked to another hunter he found another dead spike and a yearling doe on the other side of the ridge, he said he called the PGC and said they'll come by tommorow morning. I think its time to let the landowner know to pull his land off the LINK program its just not worth the hassle.

RE: Sad discovery
They should get citations. Too many idiots in the woods and not enough common sense. Outlaws ruin it for all of us. Ok so you screw up and shot one too small - do the crime pay the fine sit out a year if they yank your license. Let's not ruin it for others. Too many idiots violating game laws, pointing guns at others causing headaches for those of us doing it by the book. We need more enforcement and stiff penalties. I am glad I hunt private land so I don't have to deal with most of the redneck ricky rifle mentality of some folks. I lived near adams county in franklin county and have seen some people's mentality down there and let's just leave it at that, cause there are still a ton of good folks in that area but a few ruin it for the whole bunch.
