Poachers Guilty
Hunting in Park
Four men found that poaching deer in Shenandoah National Park can be expensive. Earl E. Smith, age 32 of Syria, Harold V. Brown, age 24 of Pratts, and two juveniles were found guilty, of hunting in Shenandoah National Park. Appearing before United States Magistrate I. Randolph Dovel, Sr., Smith was fined $250.00 and had a 12 gauge shotgun and his car confiscated. Fresh samples of blood found in the trunk of the car were determined by the F.B.I. Laboratory to be from an animal of the deer family. Harold Brown was fined $100 and the two juveniles $50 each. With the approach of deer season, hunters are cautioned to brush up on their hunting regulations and be absolutely certain of the ownership of the property upon which they are hunting. No hunting of any type is permitted within Shenandoah National Park. Supt. R. Taylor Hoskins reported even though the Park boundary is long and irregular, it is plainly marked with signs and red blazes. Hunters having any doubt sould contact the Chief Ranger’s office, 599-2241. Deer which are frequently seen along Skyline Drive provide pleasure and enjoyment for thousands of visitors to the Park. However, because of the large number of visitors and the protection provided by the Park, deer lose much of their natural fear of man. They are rather easy victims for the poacher. Although the poacher may claim to be a sportsman, it is rather obvious that he is unable or unwilling to compete with the honest hunter who is willing to work for his game.
