http://www.wfsb.com/family/26096753/detail.html, in some States if you report a incident the fine and or penalty reduced. When I was living in Pa, a friend saw a legal deer during season and shot, the bullet went through the deer and killed another one that was behind his intended deer. Immediately we called it in and the local Game Warden responded. He investigated the incident and gave my friend a fine that was half of the normal amount. Also the Game Warden wrote it up so no loss of hunting privileges. At the time I thought any fine was unwarranted and sort of still do. Also we were not allowed to retain the second deer because it was our actions that caused the deers death
