Hunter could pay "deerly"
Randolph Scott Stidham was so proud. of shooting an enormous deer he drove it around Jackson, Ky., in the back of his pickup to show it off to friends. But he had actually bagged .one of 1,300 protected elk that wildlife officials have restored to the state's Appalachian mountains. Now Stidham, 38, faces more than $8,000 in fines and up to a year in jail. "Anyone who mistakenly shoots an elk is an idiot," said a Kentucky wildlife official.
