Two Saint Maries men charged for alleged unlawful take of seven white-tailed deer in North Idaho
Two Saint Maries men were charged on June 27 with eight felonies related to the alleged unlawful take of seven mature white-tailed deer bucks, according to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
The investigation was conducted by Idaho Fish and Game conservation officers in the Panhandle Region and resulted in documentation of 56 wildlife violations. Alleged violations were reviewed and final felony charges filed by the Kootenai County Prosecutor’s Office.
It is alleged that all seven deer were illegally killed during November and five of the seven deer were killed in a single 24-hour period. Three of the bucks were classified as trophy white-tailed deer, which carries higher penalties than a non-trophy classification, the release said.
