SWING SET DOUBLES AS ILLEGAL DEER BLIND
Bell County Game Warden Brandt Bernstein received two reports of a person hunting deer near a housing subdivision and on another’s property. One caller said a shot was fired and he believed the shot “hit.” Wardens Bernstein and Wilson responded to the area, and a deputy with Bell County had stopped two men walking down the road with a gun. The wardens separated the two males and interviewed them. Warden Bernstein’s suspect admitted to shooting a deer that night and they were going to look for it when stopped by the deputy. Bernstein arrested the male for hunting white-tailed deer at night from a swing set in his back yard. Wilson’s suspect also admitted to hunting deer several times at night from the swing set and killing several deer. Wilson’s suspect was also arrested. Cases pending.
