Three men stole a Crawford County hunter's doe at gunpoint, the hunter said.

"I'm really, really upset about the whole ordeal," said Robert Hanna, 42, of Meadville. "(It's) over a dumb deer. If they wanted it so bad I would have said, 'Take it.' "

Mr. Hanna said he shot the deer yesterday afternoon and was getting ready to come down from his tree stand when he was approached by three men with rifles. They ordered him to empty his rifle and throw his gun down and one of the men then knocked him to the ground, he said.

"It's an armed robbery and an assault," said Vernon Township Sgt. Randy Detzel. "They knocked him to the ground and took his deer," the Meadville Tribune reported.

Police had no suspects.
