A NOTW Classic (April 2009): It was thought to be the backwoods version of an “urban legend,” but the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department reported its first documented case of a deer hunter’s attempt to avoid detection after shooting a doe (instead of the permissible buck) by gluing antlers onto its head. Marcel Fournier, 19, used epoxy and lag bolts, said a game warden, but the finished product looked awkward because of the angle of placement and the size mismatch of the antlers. Fournier was jailed for 10 days, fined, and had his license revoked.
