MILFORD, N.Y. — An unlicensed hunter in Otsego County was recently cited by state authorities for illegally taking a pair of deer.
On Nov. 7, Mark Vencak, an environmental conservation officer for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), responded to a location in Otsego County after receiving information that a person took two bucks during the archery season.
The hunter became uncooperative during questioning, even threating Officer Vencak, according to a DEC news release.
Lieutenant Michael Terrell of the New York State Police and DEC Forest Ranger Nathaniel Laymon responded to the site to assist Vencak. Officers determined the individual never purchased archery privileges and charged him with hunting without a big-game license and for taking two deer other than as permitted by law. The release did not name the hunter. The case is pending in the Town of Milford Court.
