n May 27, Lieutenant Woyton conducted a routine compliance check on two turkey hunters in the town of West Turin. The Lieutenant observed a loaded shotgun in the front seat of the subjects’ vehicle and he and ECO Jarecki, who was called to the location to assist, discovered turkey parts, beards, and breast meat from at least five birds in the trunk. The subjects stated they each took two turkeys while hunting in Pennsylvania but were unable to produce tags showing the birds were legally harvested.

One subject also failed to possess a hunting license. Officers charged both individuals with multiple violations/misdemeanors including possessing a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle, unlawful possession of wildlife, failure to properly tag turkeys, hunting small game without a license, and failure to carry a turkey permit while afield, as required. ECOs turned the information over to Pennsylvania authorities for further investigation.
