An Oneida County father and son have been sentenced for intentionally poisoning wildlife during a span of three years on their Sugar Camp property.

Alvin Sowinski, 78, received a $30,000 fine, a seven-year ban on his hunting, fishing and trapping privileges, $100,000 in restitution, and one year of probation and four months of home confinement.

Paul Sowinski, 46, received a $10,000 fine, a five-year ban on his hunting, fishing and trapping privileges, $100,000 in restitution, and one year of probation.

The duo used the pesticide Carbofuran to kill several species of birds and mammals between May 2007 and March 2010, including a black bear, bobcat and at least two American bald eagles.
