Not to derail this thread, but you seriously got fined in Ohio for that? I always thought it was legal
I think it used to be illegal in Ohio but not anymore. I always cut mine up there and packed out- there is no other way I know of to get a deer out of some of those hollows on bigger areas. I would always call it in at some point when I got service on way back to the truck.
