Cory Posey, 19, of South Salem, and Kyle Kruger, 20, of Washington Courthouse pled guilty in Chillicothe Municipal Court to killing the deer shortly after midnight on Nov. 1 in northwest Ross County.

The pair also pled guilty to spotlighting, shooting a deer after legal hunting hours and killing more than the season bag limit of one antlered deer. Click link below for full story!
