HORICON — Two Horicon area men face seven conservation charges of illegally shooting a trophy deer out-of-season. Charges stem from an investigation that began in January.
The focal point of the investigation is the alleged shooting of a 26-point buck, which is reported to be the largest white-tail buck ever killed in Dodge County.
DNR conservation warden Paul Nell, Horicon, said the charges could cost Wayne Nisiewicz, 45, and Anthony Nisiewicz, 24, hefty fines, jail time and possible loss of their hunting and fishing privileges, if convicted.
Most of the charges stem from the alleged shooting of a deer with a firearm during the archery season. Anthony Nisiewicz was additionally charged with providing false deer registration information while Wayne Nisiewicz was also charged with obstructing a conservation warden.
The investigation was launched when citizens called the wardens about several suspicious gunshots that occurred after dark on Dec. 31. A subsequent search of the Wayne Nisiewicz property revealed a number of items that led to the charges.
