Western Pa. man faces endangerment, illegal hunting charges for bagging deer from Wal-Mart lot
BLAIRSVILLE, Pa. – They say you can get almost anything at Wal-Mart. But the Pennsylvania Game Commission says one deer hunter took it too far.
Forty-year-old Arcangelo Bianco Jr. is charged with reckless endangerment and hunting law violations for allegedly shooting across a highway to kill a 10-point buck he spotted in a Wal-Mart parking lot in November.
Bianco faces a preliminary hearing May 1. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call for comment Wednesday on charges reported by the Indiana Gazette (http://bit.ly/YEmOVY).
Wildlife Conservation Officer Jack Lucas says Bianco fired several shots in the parking lot then retrieved the deer from the side of the highway opposite the store, about 30 miles east of Pittsburgh.
Lucas says the buck is one of the nicest taken in the county in recent years.
