County’s Charges May Have Venison For Dinner
A Frederick County hunter jailed for deer poaching faces an unusual offer from State game warden Richard W. Jacques. The county may receive about 40 deer annually slain illegally or by automobiles, with the state delivering meat to a county designated butcher for dressing at cost. Meat must be used in jail or Montevue, since wild deer meat cannot be sold. County officials seek a suitable person to dress the venison at a reasonable price due to the messy hair.
