"Vt. hunter busted for bolting antlers on dead doe

Posted: Mar. 14, 2009

BURLINGTON, Vt. — A man who bolted antlers to the head of a dead doe and posed for a photograph with the deer was fined $400 and jailed for game violations.

Marcel Fournier, 19, shot the deer the evening of Nov. 22 and used lag bolts and epoxy to attach a 10-point rack, officials said. He then checked in the kill as lawful game at Barnie's Market.

It's illegal to kill an antlerless deer, and it's also illegal to hunt at night.

The Concord resident admitted to the killing and led a game warden to the deer's remains after an anonymous caller alerted authorities. Fournier said he had "quite a time" drilling and fastening the antlers, authorities said.

Game warden David Gregory said the antlers didn't look or feel right.

"When you grabbed them, you'd feel movement," he said.

Col. David LeCours, chief warden of the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, said the size of the antlers relative to the size of the deer seemed off.

"Something wasn't natural about them, in addition to the fact that they weren't natural," he said.

Fournier was sentenced to 10 days in jail Feb. 18 for taking a deer in a closed season. He won't qualify for a state hunting, fishing or trapping license for at least three years.

LeCours said add-on antlers are the stuff of legend, but that it's the first documented case of it in Vermont."

I can't believe you can spend 10 days in jail for hunting out of season.

...what if you bolted the antlers on while the doe was still alive?

if he's dumb enough to bolt antlers on a doe, having a criminal record probably isn't putting him in much worse shape

^^ They should have bolted antlers onto him then. Sport hunting is a vile and reprehensible practice.

Around here you get congratulated for killing does. We are asking the hunting club that leases our land this year to kill a doe for every buck they kill. The crop damage is horrendous. I've even got a customized depredation rifle to keep them out of the fields.

i don't know who that was directed to. but anyway, i think that people whos cars get totaled by deer (or a deer, i don't know, this sentence is already confusing me...i got lost at whos whose? whatev) are bad drivers. seriously. i have a honda a teenie tiny honda and i hit a deer head on. my car was fine. ok not fine, but it wasn't totaled.

the trick is, don't slam on the brakes. no no. i recommend speeding up. it also helps if you close your eyes and scream while you slam on the accelerator. that is what i did and it worked out fairly well for me.

also i have bad luck. i mean, one would think not totaling a car would be good, but i've secretly been attempting to total my car for years as a ploy to get a new car. it hasn't worked. my honda will never die.

Yeah, a couple of doors might have closed for him, but it's not like he's going to become some sort of pariah. I highly doubt all that many jobs are going to immediately disqualify you from employment because you hunted deer out of season once.

especially when you were 19. i mean, it isn't that young but if you are 25 applying for a job you can EASILY play the whole young/immature/learned my lesson, etc etc. obviously that won't work when he's like 21. but it isn't like he was charged with murder (of a human) or something.

the biggest problem w/ hunting out of season is that others may use the land for other activities outside of deer season and won't worry about wearing orange because it's not deer season.

If you shoot a deer illegally, the best thing to do is get it skinned and cut up as fast as you can.

Hunting legal animals for consumption purposes are understandable. Hunting just to prove your own self perceived dominance over other creatures is barbaric.

OK, saying he's fucked for life is a bit of hyperbole.

However, he may never get the chance to explain himself. Many jobs will simply disqualify him because he has a conviction--they won't differentiate between a convicted idiot and an 'actual' convicted criminal (though it would likely depend on whether it was a misdemeanor or a felony).
