    Two men face several charges after waterfowl is shot, killed

    By T.J. Pignataro | Published April 24, 2018 | Updated April 24, 2018

    Two 25-year-old men face multiple charges in connection with illegally shooting and killing a hooded merganser in Wyoming County late last month, the state Department of Environmental Conservation reported.

    Coby W. Cox of Gainesville and Brody J. Fisher of Livonia were tracked down by DEC officer RJ Ward in connection with the incident in Gainesville on March 31.

    The men admitted firing at Canada geese to Ward, but the birds flew away, the DEC said. When only the merganser remained, the men allegedly shot and killed it with a shotgun, the DEC said.

    Cox and Fisher were charged with possessing a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle, taking wildlife with the aid of a motor vehicle, hunting with an auto-loader capable of holding more than six rounds, hunting waterfowl out of season, hunting waterfowl without a duck stamp, failing to hunt waterfowl with non-toxic projectiles and wanton waste.

    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

    It's not wanton waste if they eat the merganser.

    When you list them out like that it’s a lot of laws to keep up with for shooting a bird.

    Good thing they didn't have any sardines aboard, or a bait charge would have been easy...

    They should pay the ultimate price. Yes, eating the merganzer. With no salt or pepper and no condiments.

    Yep, cooked well done so they have to chew it longer.

    We could all learn something from this heinous act that cost Sawbill Sam his life. Don't sit still when fired upon. RIP Sawbill Sam.

    Five Face Felony Charges for 2015 Havana Waterfowl Hunt
    By KRISTIN MCHUGH • 56 SECONDS AGO

    Five central Illinois men are facing charges they violated federal waterfowl hunting laws in Fulton County. Rick Hamm of Chillicothe is charged in connection with a guided waterfowl hunt southwest of Havana during the December 2015 regular hunting season. Zachary Entwistle of Morris, Trent Gustafson of Chillicothe, James Schupp of Wyoming and J. Weston Schupp of Bradford were also indicted.

    The five face felony charges of conspiracy and violating the Lacey Act, and misdemeanor charges for the use of an electronic caller and hunting over bait during the regular waterfowl season. Hamm solely faces an additional misdemeanor charge for directing the placement of bait.

    All five are due to be arraigned in US District Court in Peoria on May 3rd.

    I thought it was legal to use Ecallers for snowgeese.
