FWC Charges Escambia Man With Multiple Deer Poaching Related Offenses
March 16, 2023
An Escambia County man was charged with poaching related offenses by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Connor Ross Bronkhorst, 20, was charged five counts of unlawful take or killing of doe deer, fawn, or antlerless deer (less than 5 inches during the open season); two counts of statewide annual bag five deer, of which no more than two may be antlerless deer; possession limit, four daily bag as follows provided no person shall take more than two deer per day; and willful wanton waste of wildlife.
FWC said Bronkhorst admitted that he had shot four antlerless deer at night in the Blackwater State Forest.
An FWC officer located the meat from the four recently poached deer in coolers at his residence and part of a fifth antlerless deer the suspect admitted shooting at night earlier in the week. The gun used in the crime, the deer meat and the deer heads were seized and placed into evidence.

Doe Killer = Loser
What in the heck are these folks thinking, throw him in jail just for being an idiot. Dang
COWARD
Was there are extra charge for endangering a mullet?
Need to make the offense a felony, so they lose thier right to hunt or have guns
@Shame … I’m guessing those are the gunshots I hear at night, probably 3 or 4 times a week? That’s crazy. Also, you can contact FWC and they’ll put some officers in/around that area.
Has mullet, kills doe. Both are wrong, to jail you go.
He isn’t the only one doing this. There are more all over Molino. Go sot on brickyard road Brickton road Crabtree sunshine hill it’s everywhere.
were you that hungry bro?
What a sad excuse for a human being to STEAL from those game law abiding people. This is senseless and laziness on his part. If a person has to do this then that’s a bad way to start your life young man. These stories boil my blood to no end. This is why the game laws are in place and why the hunting restrictions are the way they are. To see this has to bother others that spend the monies snd time out there doing the right thing. GREAT JOB FWC. I just hope they make an example of this fella but it won’t stop the poaching issues but hopefully it will deter a few that think they are above the law!
