🦌Chester Co. father, sons charged with poaching
😲C'mon man you know the thing slap.gif
CHESTER COUNTY/DELAWARE COUNTY, Pa. State wildlife officials say three Chester County residents – a father and his two adult sons – are facing dozens of charges, accused of poaching dozens of trophy bucks.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission says the suspects have been charged with a combined total of 71 misdemeanors and a third-degree felony for allegedly poaching trophy bucks in Chester and Delaware counties over several years.
Authorities say Carl Nelson III, 70, of West Chester, faces 35 charges, including a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. His son, 44-year-old Carroll Nelson IV, of Downington, faces 11 charges and a similar fine and prison sentence.
Wildlife officials say Nelson’s other son, 40-year-old Mark Nelson, of West Chester, faces 25 charges, which includes a third-degree felony punishable by up to seven years in prison and a $15,000 fine.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission received a tip that the trio had illegally taken large whitetail bucks out of season, at night or over the limit of one buck per hunter, per year.
Authorities allegedly seized nearly 50 mounts and antler sets and are investigating if other people are involved.
If convicted, state officials say the suspects’ hunting licenses may be revoked.

Their hunting licenses will be revoked? Golly gee. That'll stop the poaching for sure.

If convicted for the M1 or F3 they will be prohibited firearms/ammo under Federal and PA law.

After they serve the 5-7 year in PA for the current infractions, 10 years/ $250K in FEDERAL prison for any future possession of firearm or ammo while in USA and territories will provide more incentive to mend their ways. They'll care more that its a bigger deal than just "losing hunting privileges".
