Pennsylvania Game Commission officials announced that a Lancaster County hunter has undergone post-exposure rabies shots after harvesting and field dressing a deer Friday, Jan. 20, in Chester County that ultimately tested positive for rabies.
"The hunter contacted us about his concerns that the deer was unfit for human consumption," PGC wildlife conservation officer John Veylupek said. "The hunter said that he saw the deer standing in a creek, straining and growling and he thought there was a coyote nearby from the sounds the deer was making.
