"A Western New York man has pleaded guilty to charges related to poaching 15 deer in Genesee and Wyoming counties between 2019 and 2023. Tyler D. Jennings, 29, of Attica, was charged in February with four counts of illegally taking wildlife, two counts of taking big game after legal hours, one count of taking deer over the limit and nine counts of criminal mischief in the third degree, a felony."
"DEC police officers (ECOs) began investigating Jennings following a September 2023 complaint about a deer carcass in a field in the town of Bethany that was shot during the night. ECOs found a large, headless deer 100 yards off the road with a small-caliber bullet hole in its carcass. ECOs identified Jennings as a suspect and obtained search warrants to collect time- and date-stamped photos and text messages confirming that Jennings had poached 15 antlered deer, mainly large bucks, dating back to 2019."
