Deer entrails in a resident's back yard in a Kennesaw subdivision led authorities to charge a man with hunting on private property and illegally taking wildlife.
Alton Cain, 29, acknowledged to police that he had hunted from a deer stand in the Legacy Park subdivision in Kennesaw.
According to police, a Legacy Park resident called police after finding what appeared to be deer entrails in the resident’s back yard.
Police found two deer stands in the nearby tree line, along with an arrow and evidence of something being dragged through the woods. The drag marks ended at a house on Forest Grove Pass in the New McEver Woods subdivision, where a woman told police that her brother had taken a deer to a taxidermist, police said.
A game warden from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources then contacted Cain, who said he had been hunting from one of the stands in Legacy Park, police said.
DNR charged Cain with hunting on private property without permission and possession of illegally taken wildlife, police said.
The state took possession of the deer.
