Maryland Natural Resources Police Charges Two Pennsylvania Hunters with Baiting Deer

CNB HUNTING/FISHING NEWS:

MARYLAND (September 26, 2014)–Two Pennsylvania men were charged today with illegal deer hunting on state land in Washington County, the Maryland Natural Resources Police reported.

Michael Allen Wood, 52, of Fort Loudon, and Paul Eugene Carmack, 54, of Greencastle, were charged with hunting deer with the aid of bait at Indian Springs Wildlife Management Area.

Acting on a tip, an officer yesterday found tree stands and ground blinds near piles of apples, shelled corn and three mineral blocks—all considered means of baiting wildlife. When the officer returned to the site this morning, he found Wood hunting with a crossbow from a ground blind and Carmack hunting from a tree stand with a crossbow.

In addition to the baiting charge, the hunters were issued warnings for having permanent tree stands and blinds in a Wildlife Management Area.

The two men are scheduled to appear in Washington District County on Dec. 2. If found guilty, each hunter faces a maximum fine of $1,500.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: And they call this Progress!

Article submitted by Bonnie Flegler

By today\’s standards, none of us were supposed to ever make it past High School. $\"110207_2339_Thoughtfort1\"$

HIGH SCHOOL — 1957 vs. 2013

Scenario 1:
Jack goes quail hunting before school and then pulls into the school parking lot with his shotgun in his truck\’s gun rack.
1957 – Vice Principal comes over, looks at Jack\’s shotgun, goes to his car and gets his shotgun to show Jack.
2013 – School goes into lock down, FBI called, Jack hauled off to jail and never sees his truck or gun again. Counselors called in for traumatized students and teachers.

Scenario 2:
Johnny and Mark get into a fist fight after school.
1957 – Crowd gathers. Mark wins. Johnny and Mark shake hands and end up buddies.
2013 – Police called and SWAT team arrives — they arrest both Johnny and Mark. They are both charged with assault and both expelled even though Johnny started it .
