A a new Type of game Law violator is the one who shoots trophy animals out of season a he said. A we know of an instance where a trophy White Tail Deer head was shot in South Texas out of season and offered for Sale for 625,000. There apparently is a demand for such trophy Heads by unscrupulous Hunters who will buy a head hang it on their Den Wall and say they shot then there is the violator who shoots Deer out of season to get horns still in the velvet or Early development stage. Burdett said these horns sold for up to 6110 a Pound Are used to replace the scarce Rhinoceros Horn used by chinese Medicine men for years As a supposed sex stimulant. And there Are the poachers who shoot Deer any time of the year just to get the meat. They sell the carcasses for 620 and 625 each although there is a state Law against Sale of Deer meet. He said they have found instances where school Chil Dren were fed hamburger made from poached Deer. A fall this causes a year around pressure on Deer a he said.
