In October, State Wildlife Officer Ryan Burke, assigned to Hancock County, and State Wildlife Officer Matt D. Smith, assigned to Huron County, patrolled Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area during the early white-tailed deer gun hunting season. The officers noticed a parked vehicle with gun cases in the cab. They contacted the hunter, who had harvested a doe, and discovered the hunter had purchased a deer management permit after the harvest. The hunter was issued a summons for attaching or using a tag on a deer that was taken before the permit was purchased. The defendant paid $170 in fines and court costs in Upper Sandusky Municipal Court.
