[size 2]Pa. Woman Cited for Honking Car Horn Mon Dec 8,12:18 PM ET [/size]

Norma Kramer, 77, of Export, Westmoreland County, will be cited for "creating an intentional interruption of the hunting process," according to a state police report.
Kramer said she drove her 1987 Oldsmobile across a field and stopped under a tree stand where a man and his wife were hunting.
Though they had permission to hunt on her relative's property in Salem Township, they didn't have permission to be in the tree stand, Kramer said. The stand had been her grandson's, who died in a hunting accident six years ago.
"I made up my mind that I was going to cause them all kinds of trouble," Kramer said.
But when she confronted them Monday morning, she said the woman yelled that she saw a deer and for her husband to shoot it.
"There was no deer. She just said that to get a reaction from me, and it worked," Kramer said. "I guess it's against the law to blow my horn and scare the deer. If I'd have known that, I wouldn't have done it. I just hate to see deer killed."
If convicted of the second-degree summary offense, Kramer could be fined up to $500. [/font]
