[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3054069, member: 5412"] No, as a hunter, you are responsible to make sure the animal/fowl your hunting is the specie that your allowed to kill. That's why we have game laws. The ones that called it in are responsible hunters that recognize they made a mistake and are willing to pay the price for it. Law/game enforcement cannot allow the person making the mistake to keep the meat or antlers as that would encourage poaching. As discussed earlier, I can see a fine in her future, but hope she doesn't lose hunting privileges. If it goes south, she could be charged to replace the animal with another depending on the age and popularity of the animal. Oklahoma and other states do this. To buy an elk to replace the one she shot can run into the many thousands of dollars. Poachers beware, the fine is the cheapest thing you might have to pay. [/QUOTE]
