Pennsylvania poaching spree ends with more than 100 deer killed, six suspects charged

According to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, a group of six suspects — three adults and three juveniles — estimated they shot 100-200 deer “just for fun.” Charges range from felonies to misdemeanors to summary violations, with the most serious potentially carrying fines and penalties of up to $15,000 and 36 months in prison.

Six residents of Franklin County were criminally charged in late May for allegedly going on what the Pennsylvania Game Commission termed “a poaching spree,” killing more than 100 deer in six months.
They allegedly shot the deer and left most of them to rot over this past fall and winter. Commission law-enforcement officials called the actions a “complete disregard for our wildlife resources.”
