EGLIN A.F.B. -- A man hunting in a closed area of
Eglin Air Force Base was tracked for half mile by Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission officers, according to the FWC's
weekly report.
The officers noticed a car parked along Range Road 507, which
borders a closed area. The hunter later left the closed area and
tried to leave in his vehicle, before being stopped by an officer.
Two K-9 officers helped to track the man, who went back into the
closed area.
He later said he knew the area was closed to hunting and he was
cite.
