On the night of January 27, 2012, two subjects were arrested after
jacking two deer. Flyers advertising an expensive venison dinner to
be held in the Bronx were discovered in the truck. A search warrant
executed at the subject’s residence yielded an additional 320 lbs. of
venison and the remains of two 8 point bucks. The meat was intended
for use at a 4th annual venison dinner. It is estimated at least ten deer
were poached for commercial purposes in this case. The subjects paid
$8,000.00 in penalties and face revocation of their hunting privileges.
