Two Lake County men have been charged with a host of misdemeanors after the Indiana Department of Natural Resources caught them poaching deer.

Conservation officers investigated the men after the department received a tip to its poacher hotline late last year, INDNR spokesman Alex Neel said in a release Friday. Both suspects — Ryan Jinkerson, 46, of Lowell, and Randy Kirk, 34, of Winfield — turned themselves in after officers filed the charges and issued arrest warrants, Neel said, though they each posted their $750 bond.

Jinkerson and Kirk were both charged with illegal taking of deer, hunting with the aid of a motorized conveyance, providing false information to a deer check station, failing to check in deer, hunting deer without a license, hunting without consent of landowner, hunting deer by the aid of bait, unlawful taking of a federally protected species, unlawfully placing surveillance cameras on private property, and hindering a conservation officer, Neel said.

Anyone who sees and wants to report possible illegal activity regarding Indiana’s wildlife is encouraged to contact TIP at 1-800-TIP-IDNR (800-847-4367) or tip.IN.gov.
