With all of these wasted two points, makes me wonder if the three point rule is actually effective in reducing the number of "immature" deer being killed?  How about in the four point areas, are people finding poached three pointers?

If they would at least own up to it (anonymously?), the meat could be salvaged.

I reported 2 headless bucks a couple of weeks ago in Lewis County. How do you find out what the Game dept knows. I gave them my name and number and asked for updates but I havent heard anything. These bucks were 50yds of the paved road in a field, only dead for a couple of days at most.

Yeah, that sucks...  There are lot of HUGE 2 points, and you really need to make sure before you shoot!

I had this discussion with my GF this weekend.
Hitting a Deer or Elk with a car is and "accident".
Looking through the scope of a high powered rifle and pulling the trigger is NOT!    Ever!

Headless bucks and dead two points are not the same kind of problem. They're both utter BS but what happened isn't the same.

Greedy ashpoles shoot 2 points because they don't want to miss the shot and they can see multiple points. He then finds out he blew it and doesn't want to go down for the crime. He didn't wake up that morning to go out and kill a 2 point, he's just not willing to man up and make sure he never will to begin with. He's not going to take the meat and increase the chance of getting caught for what he'd say is a "mistake". Mistake my #)($.

The guy cutting off the head, he went out either intending to, or completely willing to, kill a critter he knows he can't legally posses. There's no accident there's no I hope I got it right. That guy is out to poach. 

The second guy I call a poacher. The first guy is a game rules violater and should be punished but I don't usually call those guys poachers. Semantics, but when we call every rule violation poaching I think it diminishes the real deal.  I'm not letting anyone off the hook, 2 point shooters need serious penalties.

Waste of a nice big animal.  Pennsylvania has a point restriction now also, and I'm sure they find dead animals that were mistakenly shot there too.  If this deer was a mistake kill and not an actual poach, then I can see why they may have just left it lay.  I say that because back in the mid 90's in PA, a hunter mistaked a doe for a buck and shot it.  In the hunting regulation it said to report any animal that was mistakenly killed to the local game dept and there would only be a $25 fine.  Well, after about $5,000 in lawyer fees, and multiple fines, he finally gave up and plead guilty to it (poaching), and lost his license for a few years.  What is the legal action in WA for a mistake kill?

Giggles - I agree with u on the point of A 2 point being killed, someone could have been scared and let it lay. But, in my original statement...there were TWO 2 points left dead and not consumed within 100 yards of each other. No good
