Officers from the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Division of State Environmental Conservation (EnCon) Police recently arrested a Hartland resident for illegal moose hunting.

Michael Lewis of Mill Street, Hartland, was charged with illegal taking of a wild quadruped.

EnCon Police had received a complaint that Lewis had illegally shot and killed a moose behind his home. Upon investigation the remains of a moose carcass in a wooded area behind Lewis' home were found. When questioned by EnCon Police Officers, Lewis admitted to shooting the moose for its meat.

Officers recovered 35 pounds of moose meat in individually wrapped packages as well as a twelve-point set of moose antlers that were taken from the animal.

Lewis was released on a written promise to appear in court at GA18 in Bantam on December 17, 2007.

Julie and Tom's Texas Pig Hunt
When Julie, my wife, over heard me talking with a hunting buddy about going hog hunting in Texas she expressed an interest in going also. Julie bird hunts with me all the time but never expressed an interest in bigger game. I jumped at the chance to get her ready for our Texas hog hunt. Since most of my rifles carry a pretty stout kick I decided to do some research and come up with a new 'outfit' for Julie's first hog hunt.
