Two La Vergne residents have been banned from hunting in Tennessee and 43 other states after they illegally killed as many as 40 deer, and then took photos and videos mocking the animals, according to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
Densibel Calzada, 23, and Eddy Albert, 21, received the harshest penalty ever issued by the TWRA.

(18,318 posts)The blow holes are forbidden to hunt in 44 states due to an interstate compact which means an automatic ban almost nation-wide.
Enforcement of game laws depends on the majority of hunters who won't and don't put up with this crap; the compact is the result of an ethical approach to hunting shared by the vast majority of outsoors persons.
