Fleming Co. Brothers Face Over 100 Counts Of Poaching
FLEMING COUNTY, Ky (LEX 18) Two Fleming County brothers face more than 100 counts of poaching in a case that State Division of Fish and Wildlife says could have gone on for years.
Conservation officers say that they discovered dozens upon dozens of deer antlers in a shed on a plot of land.
They said that the deer were hunted illegally by 69-year-old Larry Fryman and his 63-year-old brother, Danny.
Officers say that some of these deer may have been dead and mounted for years.
The investigation began on November 7 in Mason County when authorities say they discovered Larry illegally hunting.
After an investigation, the officers went onto the Fryman’s family farm and discovered the antlers.
Neighbors say that the family owns a lot of property around the small community between Ewing and Flemingsburg.
Each brother faces 114 counts of illegally taking and pursuing deer.
Larry reportedly told the conservation officer, “If you come back to serve me without the Sheriff, there will be a dead game warden, and I know enough to drag you in the house.”
He has an additional charge of terroristic threatening.
Both Larry and Danny bonded out of jail last night.
KentuckyHunting.net is rife with comments about these two. Guys who know them say they’re surprised they only found a hundred or so racks. They’ve been doing this for over 50 years.
