Man Bolts Antlers to Dead Doe, Gets $400 Fine, 10 Days in Jail

BURLINGTON, Vt. —  A man who bolted antlers to the head of a dead doe and posed for a photograph with the deer was fined $400 and jailed for game violations.

Marcel Fournier, 19, shot the deer the evening of Nov. 22 and used lag bolts and epoxy to attach a 10-point rack, officials said. He then checked in the kill as lawful game at Barnie's Market.

It's illegal to kill an antlerless deer, and it's also illegal to hunt at night.

The Concord resident admitted to the killing and led a game warden to the deer's remains after an anonymous caller alerted authorities. Fournier said he had "quite a time" drilling and fastening the antlers, authorities said.

Game warden David Gregory said the antlers didn't look or feel right.

What an idiot.  Eediot.

Hint, hint........ if one's poaching, then they need to dress out the venison right then and there.

I have never wanted a deer so bad as to poach one and I could almost any day of the week if I wanted to.



OT...finally got the thousand rounds of 7.62x39s I ordered from Cabelas back in January,looking forward to some woodchuck plinking in a few weeks.

I wont get paid for another two weeks and then, most of that's kind of already spent. In a couple of months, I'll be able to afford to stock up on ammo.
