Some years ago, there was a green-horn hunter, who came down from the San Francisco Bay area, to hunt blacktail deer at Ft.Hunter Liggett in Southern Monterey County, just inland and bordering the Coast Range.

Blacktails are small compared to many other deer in the U.S. The smallest legal bucks field dressing to only a little more than half the weight of the largest Midwestern Whitetails, and the bigger Texas Muley bucks.

After some hunting, he came back late one morning to what was then called "Outdoor Recreation", which was headquarters for hunting management on the base, saying, "Wow, you folks have the biggest deer I've ever seen ...could any body help me? I can't even drag it..."

He shot a protected Tule Elk.
The poor dumb sap was fined heavily and lost his State hunting privileges for 5 years. I think they let him keep his truck. Nowadays, the Fish & Game will take the gun, the truck, what-have-you, when someone is caught flagrantly poaching. Helps keep folks honest, I guess.
