FWC Law Enforcement Report
February 21, 2015
The Florida FWC Division of Law Enforcement reported the following activity during the weekly period ending February 19 in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
SANTA ROSA COUNTY
Officer Hutchinson and Lieutenant Hahr responded to an anonymous complaint of a doe deer hanging in a shed. They located the suspect’s residence and observed the carcass of a doe deer hanging in plain view. They also observed an open bathroom window facing an area in the yard where corn had been scattered and rye grass had been planted. There was a folded towel in the window sill that appeared to be a shooting rest. They made contact with the people at the residence who called the suspect. When the suspect later arrived, he initially stated the deer was killed in Alabama during the open season. After examining the suspect’s Alabama hunting license, the officers determined he had not filled in the harvest report. Examination of the deer carcass showed that the deer was not taken nine days ago, but more recently, as it was not yet decomposing. K9 Officer Pineda and K9 Kane arrived on scene to assist. After confronted with the evidence, the suspect admitted to killing the deer in his yard with his rifle five days earlier. K9 Kane alerted to a small amount of blood in leaves near the corn. The officers recovered three bags of deer meat and seized a high powered rifle and scope. The suspect was issued a notice to appear for taking an antlerless deer out of season and driving on a suspended driver’s license.
This report represents some events the FWC handled over the past week;however, it does not include all actions taken by the Division of Law Enforcement. Information provided by FWC. No Escambia County report was submitted.

Who in the world leaves a deer carcass hanging in their shed 5 days after they killed it????
On a second note, the Florida officers have one thing wrong. In Alabama, you do not have to record does on your harvest report. Only bucks have to be recorded.
