The state Game Commission has charged three Bedford men with poaching deer. Charged were 22-year-old Kai Bardell, 21 year old Harlan Group, and 27-year-old Edward Ilgenfritz. The three face felony charges of taking big game out of season, along with dozens of other summary charges. Reportedly, an investigation began last November when the Game Commission received a call about multiple dead deer found in Bedford County. Three of the animals found, had their heads cut off. Once apprehended, the men also admitted to illegally killing deer in Maryland, and bringing them back to Pennsylvania. The three are awaiting preliminary hearings.
