PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — An Illinois man who was a host of a TV show about hunting has pleaded guilty in a poaching investigation.

Chris Brackett of East Peoria admits that he killed two deer in Indiana in 2013 and transported an 11-point buck to Illinois, in violation of federal law. Indiana allowed hunters only to kill one buck.

The Journal Star reports that Brackett was in federal court in Peoria on Tuesday. Prosecutors have agreed to a 30-month probation sentence when he returns to court on Nov. 5. Brackett also can’t hunt anywhere during that period and must pay $30,000.

Brackett nicknamed the 11-point buck “the unicorn buck” for its antler formation. The buck was featured on his show, “Fear No Evil,” on the Outdoor Channel.
==================================================

was reading on AT, it was pointed out that the ban would not start until he returned to court Nov 5th. some one copied his facebook post where he was asking which states offer early season hunting....

glad he was such a jerk to his cameraman or we may never have known he was poacher!
Was this the dude who shot a deer, then another bigger deer came out and he shot it too?
