A man who bolted antlers to the head of a dead doe and posed for a photograph with the deer was fined $400 and jailed for game violations.
Marcel Fournier, 19, shot the deer the evening of Nov. 22 and used lag bolts and epoxy to attach a 10-point rack, officials in Burlington, Vt., said.
He then checked in the kill as lawful game at Barnie’s Market.
It’s illegal to kill an antlerless deer, and it’s also illegal to hunt at night.
Confessing his crime, Fournier said he had “quite a time” drilling and fastening the antlers, authorities said.
Game warden David Gregory said the antlers didn’t look or feel right.
“When you grabbed them, you’d feel movement,” he said.

It’s bring-your-own-paper to this strapped Ohio city court
An Ohio city court says it will accept new case filings only from people who bring their own paper.
Judge Lee McClelland of Morrow County Municipal Court in Mount Gilead says the court has just enough paper to handle hearing notices and other documents for pending cases.
McClelland says the court will stop accepting case filings Monday because it cannot afford to order more paper. He told The Columbus Dispatch that the county still hasn’t paid the bill for basic supplies the court ordered in November.
