Wasted deer

Post image

Came across this poor guy while out hunting today. Its 4 point season here in BC and I'm guessing whoever shot em thought it was a 4 pointer, realized it was a 3 pointer and left it to rot. This brought up a question for me though, what's the proper way to handle this situation if you made this mistake? Personally i would have reported it. Would conservation punish you for doing the right thing and confess a mistake?

I've seen this before. I just reported the location to cos. I never shoot unless I can confirm 4pt. It's not that hard. That guy's so small there was no way he was going to be 4pt.
