Two southeast Iowa men are facing charges of poaching turtles.

Officers charged 36-year-old Mike Kerr of Mount Pleasant and 38-year-old Jack Schafer of Fairfield with using illegal methods to take turtles, failure to have commercial gear tags and illegally taking and possessing a turtle. They face fines totaling $2,299.

The state Department of Natural Resources says conservation officers acting on a tip staked out traps on July 9.

Fortunately, we don’t poach turtles here in South Carolina, and to hear that Iowans in their upper 30’s are doing so is just a crying shame.

Don’t forget about this Saturday’s BBQ celebrating all things Obama & BBQ!
