Hunter guilty of violating lodge’s protected space

OAKLAND (AP) — A judge in Oakland has fined a hunter $900 for violations that included hunting on the grounds of an upscale tourist lodge inside the Savage River State Forest.

Forty-year-old Jeffery Conner pleaded guilty Thursday to hunting on private property without written permission, failing to tag a deer, hunting without a license, hunting from a vehicle and carrying a loaded weapon in a vehicle.

Some of the violations occurred at the Savage River Lodge near Grantsville.

Conner heads a citizens group that got hunting restrictions lifted in the surrounding public woodlands in 2007 after the state tightened the rules amid complaints from the lodge owners.
