Bedford-Fulton County LMO Jonathan S. Zuck reports during the first week of the rifle deer season the most common violation he encountered was hunters having loaded rifles in their vehicles. In some cases, hunters were sitting in parked vehicles, others were driving on state game lands access roads. The most concerning incident was when a man was cited for driving on a public road located on state game lands while possessing a loaded rifle, illegal drugs and drug contraband. “The individual admitted he had smoked some marijuana earlier in the day and that his passenger had smoked some seconds before I stopped them,” Zuck said.
Other violations stemmed from an incident involving a group of hunters trying to cover up a spike-buck mistake kill. A junior hunter in the group tagged the buck, even though he didn’t shoot it. The incident was reported by other hunters who saw the violation occur to Deputy SGW Jeremy Elliot, who was patrolling in the area. He detained and interviewed the suspects and seized the deer before they could leave the area.
Mifflin County Game Warden Amanda M. Isett cited several people for harvesting antlerless deer before the start of the season.
