Yep. Saw a few small does and a buck with one side broken off. Made me wonder if that would be a legal deer since the broken side is just a couple of inches tall. Is that considered an unbranched antler?
If the broken off side is unbranched he's legal
Guess he would have to have it with him.LOL
I'd check with the local GW. I was told by one that they were going to crack down on it
I think this is one of those county to county interpretation things. I talked to the Game Warden in Hood Co. last week about this very thing and he told me it doesn't matter if it's unbranched because it's broken off, it's just unbranched and therefore legal. Now, if they have evidence the hunter "unbranched" it himself to make it legal, that would be a different story.
