Ted Nugent (Rock Star and avid hunter) recently got into trouble in California for taking a deer illegally because he used bait and the deer was not old enough (as judged by antler points).
Now we hear that Brothers in Kansas have allegedly held illegal hunts involving at least 60 hunters from other states and 119 deer.
James and Marlon Butler are accused of encouraging hunters to use illegal methods like spotlighting (deer in the headlights anyone?), hunting without a valid license, and using firearms during bow season.
Unlike Nugent, they may spend a lot of time in jail for the charges against them.
While it is doubtful the court or jury will accept their arguments, the brothers do have a point when they say the state is paying out large sums of money to cull herds due to overpopulation and it is somewhat hypocritical to arrest someone for doing it in an unofficial capacity.
All of the hunts took place on private property leased by the Butler brothers.

College Dean's throat slashed
Minutes before a scheduled press conference by the Kansas Governor, a student in a bullet resistant vest slashed the throat of the school's Dean.
The Dean survived thanks to quick action by bystanders while others grabbed the attacker and held him for police.
The student was acting strangely (grabbing the microphone at the podium and acted like he was doing a sound check, had "demonic" tattoos, and wrote symbols on a wall poster) and "seemed" to be on drugs.
It might seem strange that his apparently "crazy" behavior immediately prior to the attack did not trigger intervention but he is a college student and this all may seem pretty normal behavior in some colleges (like Berkeley).
