Last Saturday before I came back to work I was out wandering around as I was making my way to my stand for an evening sit, I found a yearling buck lying dead on a fallen tree, he was gut shot and had been lying there for at least two days. So I called the PGC about the issue and of course they practically told me they didn't really care. Any way as I began to walk away I noticed a trail that seemed to me was the way the animal had ran from, so I decided to follow it for a few hundred yards and guess what I found...... An opening 25 yds from the road with a small amount of hair and what looked like dried up blood and some scat. So I put two and two together and decided that it had to have been shot from the road and the person who shot it was too lazy or maybe scared to follow up on it. So I called the PGC back to fill them in to the whole story, and the fact that there was no exit wound on the deer. I thought they would maybe want to do even a small investigation, or at least come get the animal and extract the bullet or at the least dispose of the body. But they were still not the least bit interested. I honestly feel sickened at the fact that someone would go to the lengths to shoot a deer from the road and not even go get it. It ticks me off when someone road hunts (poaches) a deer or any other animal, but the fact that the meat was wasted and the kill didn't serve any purpose at all makes me utterly sick and if there is anyone out there reading this that has done this or would do this you don't even deserve to share the woods and nature with the rest of us who actually respect it, and eventually your actions will catch up to you and you'll pay for what you've done and are doing.
Anyway, leads me to my next question, am I going to get in trouble when I go to my stand during archery bear season and that carcass is still laying there. Wouldn't that be considered baiting or is that under other classification. And if it is considered baiting could i hold pgc accountable for there neglect of the situation?
