DNR Officers Nab Davis County Deer Poacher
Posted: March 15, 2005
BLOOMFIELD - Bradley Cornelison, 30, of rural Davis County, pleaded guilty to six counts of killing a white tailed deer with a rifle, four counts of having no valid deer license, two counts of failure to tag a deer and one count of having no valid hunting license. Cornelison forfeited his hunting equipment, the illegal deer, will lose his hunting privileges for numerous years and must pay $23,060 in fines and restitution.
Iowa Department of Natural Resources conservation officer Bob Stuchel said he was finding a lot of headless deer in Davis County during the fall of 2004. "I had a call from some agents with the Drug Task Force that found a number of deer heads when they did a consent search of the Cornelison residence," Stuchel said. "We looked at their pictures, secured a search warrant and found more evidence of the illegal activity."
Stuchel said they seized 13 white tailed deer heads with antlers from the residence and are continuing the investigation.
