Felony charges dismissed in snowmobile deer kill
By The Associated PressPosted: Jun. 12, 2009
Waupaca – Five felony charges of cruelty to animals have been dismissed against a man accused of running over and killing some deer with his snowmobile.
Robby Kuenzi’s attorney convinced a Waupaca County judge Thursday that because the defendant was hunting at the time of the incident, state law prohibits animal cruelty charges.
Judge John Hoffman conceded and dismissed the felonies. Kuenzi still faces several ordinance violations and four misdemeanors, including hunting out of season.
Kuenzi’s brother, Rory, and Nicholas Hermes face similar charges. Four deer were found dead along a snowmobile trail south of Waupaca on Jan. 10, and a fifth had to be euthanized.

What a piece of #&$& that judge is. Hunting?
Hunting is the wrong word if out of season. Most call it poaching! What a bunch of BS!!

June 17, 2009 at 11:20 pm #784745You gotta love our legal system. If you are smart enough to come up with some arsinine story, it could likely get you off.
June 17, 2009 at 11:22 pm #784747Perfect example of the absolute nonsense that comes out of the court systems these days. The best we can do (despite the vigilante justice we’d like to dispense) is continue to provide good examples of how outdoorsmen and women should behave.
June 18, 2009 at 2:39 pm #784960No wonder i have never shot a deer… I have been using the wrong damn weapon
June 18, 2009 at 7:31 pm #784968Unbelievable… How could anyone in their right mind justify that he had the intent to “hunt” with a snowmobile? Hopefully he gets fined with “hunting” out of season, “hunting” after hours, “hunting” from a motor vehicle, over limit, failing to tag a deer properly, not wearing hunter orange, wonton waste and tresspassing!
June 18, 2009 at 7:58 pm #784971Thanks dougie, felony must be the key work in this case. I see a lot of cases now being reduced to misdemeanors. Do they lose their right to vote if their a felon?
June 18, 2009 at 9:48 pm #784992This ranks right up there with Stallworth only getting 30 days in jail for dui manslaughter!!! You have to be kidding me!!! There was also an undisclosed amount of $$$ paid to the family… …IMAGINE THAT…
June 18, 2009 at 10:55 pm #785010take their “weapons” away, and do not allow them to operate a “weapon” again! Add that to the list Brad gave.
June 18, 2009 at 11:00 pm #785016If I recall the original article, they stole the “weapons” also. I may be confused since there were several incidents at that time. Grand theft snowmobile?

Good catch Chomps!
And I like the way you think Kooty – “Grand Theft Snowmobile” is just like Grand Theft Auto which is a felony! See…. we are right back to where we started…. Charge them again! I think I’m starting to sound like a lawyer!
June 19, 2009 at 12:01 am #785034WTF Seriously, what is wrong with that judge. That has to be the worst ruling ever. I suppose it was the snow mobile fault, just like its a guns fault. DUMB DUMB DUMB. Karma will show up sooner or later for those idiots.
June 19, 2009 at 11:20 am #785167One of the sleds was stolen. The DNR is not done with them. The felonys was the only counts that got dismissed.
