On The First Day Of Hunting Season, The Hunter Becomes The Hunted

Yesterday was the first day of hunting season in Pennsylvania, which means schoolchildren all across the state (except for the Philadelphia area) had off to go hunt bucks or whatever. (This is probably how that deer got stuck in the warehouse ended up in there; he was trying to run away from being killed.)

Well, yesterday wasn’t all rainbows and dead deer. It turns out that some people didn’t want to hunt deer themselves and instead robbed a man of his deer.

Yes, three men walked up to Meadville’s Robert Hanna — still on his tree stand after bagging a deer Monday afternoon — when three men with rifles came up to him and attacked him for his deer carcass.

“I’m really, really upset about the whole ordeal,” Hanna said. “(It’s) over a dumb deer. If they wanted it so bad I would have said, ‘Take it.’” Police don’t have any suspects, but my hunch is it’s a bunch of lazy, lazy hunters.
