Long Island Deer Party

Four Suffolk men face possible fines after they illegally captured a fawn and posed for photos that appeared on the photo-sharing site Instagram, officials said Wednesday.

Through an anonymous source, environmental conservation officers on Oct. 31 received two emailed images captured from the site, showing “young men posing with a live yearling whitetail deer,” the state Department of Environmental Conservation said in a release.

There are many opinions on this topic. Was the deer really in distress? Is it really wrong when hunting of them is permitted? Is social media the ultimate big brother catching people in the act? Let us know in the comment section below.
