Georgia Teen Found NOT GUILTY After Being Charged for Legally Harvesting a Turkey

There’s finally some good news to share.

Back in April, a 16-year-old from Harris County, GA legally hunted a turkey in his own backyard during Georgia’s turkey season. The Georgia DNR fully investigated and confirmed he did everything by the book — no laws were broken.

But soon after, a distant neighbor — who also happened to be one of his teachers — claimed the turkey was hers. No tag. No pen. No markings. Just her word. Despite no evidence and the DNR’s findings clearing him, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office charged this young man with felony aggravated animal cruelty.

That single accusation turned his world upside down. He was suspended from school, removed from his teams, and forced to miss his senior year — all before ever stepping foot in a courtroom.

While waiting for his day in court, his family made the tough decision to move him to North Carolina, where he was able to finish school and even play football again.

And now, after months of uncertainty and heartbreak, a Georgia court has officially found him NOT GUILTY.

This family can finally breathe again. They’re grateful to begin rebuilding their lives and to see their son’s name cleared after everything they’ve endured.

For the hunting and outdoor community, this story is a reminder that we have to stand together — for fairness, for due process, and for the young men and women who carry on our hunting traditions the right way.

🦃💪 Justice prevailed.
The hunt was legal. The truth came out.
Now this family can finally move forward.

Since the Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division is afraid to let you comment on anything they post we will allow to voice your opinion here.
How do you feel about the State allowing you to shoot fawns, spotted or not. I know how I feel about it. It’s legal so I will not shame anyone for doing it but I (Anthony) will not do it. How do you feel about it?

Alani Cicero's creative and seasonally-appropriate Halloween costume reminds us of one of our most frequently asked questions: 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙖𝙬𝙣𝙨?

There is no regulation that prohibits the harvest of spotted fawns on private land or WMAs (and there hasn't been for over a decade). All deer under a year old are fawns (NOT YEARLINGS), and they may or may not retain their spots through the winter. The difference between a spotted fawn and an unspotted fawn is a few weeks of coat growth. It's the same deer regardless of spotting, and if you choose to take it, that's legal as long as the date is open to unantlered deer harvest. CHECK FEDERAL PROPERTY RULES FOR ANY FURTHER RESTRICTIONS.

There is also no regulation requiring you to harvest fawns, so if you don't want to, don't.

There's no rule that you have to properly know the difference between the terms fawn and yearling. Lots of folks call a fawn that is no longer spotted a yearling. That is incorrect. A fawn was born in 2025. A yearling was born in 2024.

I’m very thankful to have gotten the opportunity to harvest a mature doe.
