Lawmakers cracking down on people who shoot deer just to get antlers

The Oklahoma House of Representatives passed SB 780 this week that makes it illegal to improperly dispose of wildlife.

In this case, it's defined as shooting a deer, but not harvesting the meat from the carcass.

Apparently, it's a fairly common problem for people to shoot deer for the sole purpose of getting the antlers, and leaving the carcass to spoil.

The fine, if a person is found guilty, is a minimum of $500 and the loss of one's hunting license for a year.
