Signs of the poaching dated back to last September.
Six Franklin County residents are charged with a string of deer poaching incidents dating from August through January in which authorities say more than 100 deer may have been killed.Six Franklin County residents were charged this week with the out-of-season killing of dozens of deer in a poaching spree that authorities say ran from August 2022 into January 2023.
Those charged are: Hunter Atherton, Abigale Hoover, and Caillou Patterson, all 20 years old and all from Greencastle; as well as three juveniles. The investigation dates to September, when the game commission began receiving reports from people who were finding dead deer, apparently shot, in their front yards and fields in the Southern Franklin County area.
The case picked steam on Jan. 3 when, during a patrol in Washington Township, the core area of the poaching activity, Game Warden Philip Bietsch said he saw a vehicle at a local gas station that matched the eyewitness’s description from September. Danley, the supervisor, said there are multiple problems associated with poaching, not the least of which is the safety issues of shooting at night, shooting on or across roadways, having loaded guns jostling around in a occupied cars.
The six defendants face a combined total of 113 counts of the unlawful taking or killing of game or wildlife, 207 counts of the unlawful use of lights while hunting, 42 counts of the possession of loaded firearms in a vehicle, 62 counts of restrictions on recreational spotlighting, and 62 counts of the unlawful use of a vehicle to locate game or wildlife.
