Think prison grounds are fair game for big bucks and bulls? Think again! According to a recent press release, Terry Sellers, 53, just found out the hard way that hunting on Tennessee’s West Tennessee State Penitentiary property is a big no-no. Earlier this year, Sellers illegally took down three impressive deer, including a 15-point double drop-tine, totaling nearly 492 inches. Thanks to some sharp detective work by TWRA and a ping warrant on his phone, the poaching spree didn’t go unnoticed. Sellers now faces six years without hunting privileges, $17,500 in restitution, and an extra $850 to cover the taxidermist—plus, those deer are now being put to good use in educational displays. Lesson learned: prison property is off-limits, no matter how tempting those trophy bucks look!
