I read about that in Lexington Herald Leader. I am not a hunter but I think I could tell the difference.
The local game warden was giving this guy heck, which I don't blame him. Saying that this guy calling the Elk a Deer is like calling a Semi a Pickup.
If I recall correctly, I tried to find the article but couldn't, he may face a fine of $100 - $5,000, up to a year in jail, and the cost to replace the Elk ~ $3,400.
Could end up being an expensive mistake /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif.
