But if I pass, someone else won't. I have mounted one that was killed illegally about 20 years ago. The poacher was arrested and the piebald button buck was held as evidence till the trial was over. After having this mount for 15+ years, I have donated it to Rocky Gap State Park where it is on display at the Park Entrance. This is where the deer was killed in the campground no hunting zone.

Ed Kennell 46,764 #27 Posted May 29 Stocked the trout for the annual fishing derby for the ATOMIC KIDS. This is a private event sponsored by the Peach Bottom Nuclear Power Plant for employees children. We put 1,000 12 to 20 inch trout in a 1/4 mile section of the North branch of Muddy Creek in Felton.

Ed Kennell 46,764 #36 Posted August 3 It's been a really bad year for road kills. Within a half mile of my house five deer have been killed in the past three weeks. Three fawns , a doe, and last week one of the 8 point bucks that has been regularly appearing on my trail cams. The corporate farmer that leases most of the farmland around me rotates corn and soy beans. This is the year that everything is on corn which limits the visibility and increases the accidents. The super bright Buck Moon last week probably also increased the nighttime activity. I haven't seen the piebald buck for a month, so I hope he has not been hit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 31,913 #37 Posted August 3 Mrs Sylvan hit a fawn driving my car a week ago... luckily only lost the front logo and popped a fog light bracket... logo fixed. May leave the fog light as is because you basically need to remove the front end to access it... No other damage. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 46,764 #49 Posted 1 hour ago 32 minutes ago, SylvanLakeWH said: "ok to feed" law for deer. It is still unlawful to feed any wild game animal ( deer, bear, elk, turkey) in Pa. The main reason is the increased spread of disease when the animals are in close contact at a feeding station. The one exception is baiting of deer is legal in well defined metro hunting areas where the numbers need to be safely reduced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
