Oregon deer killers to go to jail

Read Time:40 Second

Father and son wiped out deer population in hunting scheme

A father and son in Oregon who pleaded guilty to poaching deer—a lot of deer—have gotten a unique punishment: They have to report to jail on the first day of hunting season for the next four years and remain locked up for 90 days each year, reports the Register Guard. They’re also losing hunting privileges for life as part of the plea deal. The son, 37, admitted killing 300 deer over the last five years—about, oh, 295 over the limit.
