Three men were found guilty on Jan. 14,1993, by U.S. Magistrate B. Waugh Crigler for illegal hunting in Shenandoah National Park.

Superintendent J. W. Wade in reporting these convictions said, “We are pleased to see the substantial sentences these three persons received for their illegal acts. These fines should cause others to refrain from hunting illegally in the Park.”

Wayne E. Vanderwood, 26, of Centreville, pled guilty to hunting and weapon violations in Shenandoah National Park.

Mr. Vanderwood was sentenced to a $750 fine and ordered to pay $500 to the Shenandoah National Park Wildlife Protection Fund as replacement costs for the female whitetail deer he shot in the Park on Nov. 21, 1992.

Mr. Vanderwood was also ordered to forfeit his 12-guage shotgun to the National Park Service. Additionally, he was placed on two years probation, was ordered to forfeit his hunting privileges for one year and has been banned from any national park for two years.

Mr. Vanderwood was observed by Park Rangers dragging a doe from the woods near Hawksbill Mountain. Evidence gathered at the kill site was analyzed at the Northern Virginia State Crime Lab and aided in the conviction.

The area where the deer was killed wras heavily used by hikers and one group of 20 Scouts were camping in the vicinity where Mr. Vanderwood shot the deer.

In another case, Thomas E. Snow, 37, and James E. Snow, 26, both of Stanardsville, pled guilty to hunting, Lacey Act violations, violations of the state game bag limit laws and weapon violations in Shenandoah National Park.
