10-12-24 deer poaching ring

Three Campbellsport teenagers and a Campbellsport woman face multiple charges in a multi-county deer poaching ring.    Investigators say well over 100 deer were shot and or killed between late spring of 2023 and July of this year in southeastern Fond du Lac, northern Washington and northeastern Dodge counties.  Suspects include three 16 year old Campbellsport boys and a 36 year old Campbellsport woman.  Investigators say the alleged crimes occured in a 200 square mile region between Campbellsport, Waucousta, Lomira, Theresa, West Bend and Kewaskum.  The suspects would drive around with a spotlight shining the fields firing a rifle from a vehicle at the deer according to investigators, and would also try to intentionally strike deer in the roadway with their vehicle.  Investigators also believe the suspects targeted other animals including geese, raccoons, possums and turtles.
