It's about time that DNR caught one of these poachers. For this guy, be sure that he'll say that it's the first time he ever did it.

Good luck with that DNR - it would be great for him to be held accountable but he's a Nabb from Dorchester County & nothing will happen.

I dunno about this one. I "git" the law, but lots of others doing real bad things that need to be addressed than catching a poacher here or there. Drugs are very very bad in the DELMARVA; sex offenders preying on the young; folks with more than 6 DUI's still driving; thieves; human murderers and the total destruction of Salisbury.

In the big scheme, poaching just doesn't rank as high. As a small positive, there are several deer (including some bucks) that WILL not run into vehicles at night!

Yavhe broke the law but crop damage is what he was doing granted horns must be smaller than 3 inch spike ....

A beef- venison blend is better in my opinion than venison by itself.

5:18, That'd why there's a "Natural Resources Police" outside of the other ones going after murderers and drugs!

"Git" it?

I'll add; DUH!

Can not blame him if he is a farmer, the state even hands out permits for this. He probable didn't have a permit but who cares other than the state and they want the fine money.

5:18 PM - The DNR police did the catching. It's what they do. Let them do their jobs without whining that they could be doing other law enforcement jobs that have nothing to do with theirs.

divide the number of poachers caught, by DNR's budget and let me know what the return on investment is please? what's that you say? they do so much more? prove it! sitting behind a desk on wandering around in your state supplied boat or car isn't accomplishing much!
Wait until DNR has to generate their own budget, they'll need to take lessons from msp when it comes to issuing citations!

Well said, sir. These poachers take from all of us, and I thank DNR for their diligence.

That's 6 cars that won't be totalled this year. I've seen more deer this year than I ever remember seeing in this area.

Let's be sure to follow this case and see what justice is dealt on an even playing field, if there is one.

Good shooting! 10+ pounds of corn or beans per day for each of these monsters?? Think about it. Doesn’t take long to completely destroy a field. He barely did any serious culling here. DNR needs to open rifle season for two months and thin this massive herd. More deer here now than 300 years ago.

8:31 Slow down and pay attention. I've been driving daily in the country for 50 years and have never even come close to hitting a deer.

He probably shot 20 deer. These six antlered were probably an honest mistake. The article doesn't say what time of day or the total number he harvested was. The antlers are covered in black velvet. The lesson here is don't sign up for a government run deer management permit. Good job DNR!

The Deer population has exploded. Go down Nanticoke Rd just before sunset and you will see herds of 20+ deer. There isn't any natural predators for them and there is was to many at this point.

Combined with the fact that almost all of the property is now private you can't just go out hunting unless you know someone or pay some crazy price for land to hunt on.

People should not poach but something really needs to be done about the Deer.

And yes if you slow down and are careful you can avoid hitting a deer but I have now had some close calls where it was just pure luck. If a Deer bolts out of the woods at full speed right in front of you then there is not much you can do at that point. One friend of mine had a deer hit the side of his car last winter when driving down Rockawalkin Rd.

If the state claims to own these dear maybe they should feed them for awhile. You people have no idea how much damage deer do to crops. There are too many deer around now. They better hire more DNR people because there are going to be more deer killed just like this.

Bunch of freaking mouth breathers. Read the article sound it out I know you can do it. There is absolutely no excuse for this guy. Another entitled redneck from from DOURSISTER County. Inbred bunch of heathens.

They need killing! If you knew how many there are and the $$$$$ they cost hard working farmers due to the exploding population numbers you may think differently! As a farmer I consider them free range cattle eating off my land and with the state of Maryland permit for either sex crop damage permit I'll kill them where they cost me money in our soybean fields and watermelons! Did you know that deer kick holes in watermelons to get the water from them? Imagine finding a field and in one night losing $10,000!
