Mukwonago man pleads guilty to deer shining, after Facebook video

Talk about it

A Mukwonago man has pleaded guilty to deer shining, after he and another man put a video on Facebook showing them doing it.

Adam Frame, 25, was fined $354 after reaching a plea agreement that convicts him of shining a light while hunting wild animals with a gun.

His alleged partner, Dustin Porter, 24, of Sullivan, still has his case pending. The DNR said it got a tip about the video and an anonymous caller gave the wardens a Facebook user name and password so they could see the video.

The alleged shining took place in November of 2007.

Frame and Porter were charged in April with criminal misdemeanors. The video was called “Hunting, Muktown Style.”

The DNR said it was the first time it arrested somebody for what they saw on Facebook – but they have based arrests on postings from other sites like Craigslist and eBay.
