In September, a while-tailed deer someone was keeping as a pet was seized on Big Tancook Island.
Two men face numerous charges resulting from the seizure.
Charged with three offences under the provincial Wildlife Act — keeping wildlife in captivity without a permit or licence, contrary to regulations and in an unapproved enclosure — is 70 year old Lee Grant Cross.
Facing one charge under the Wildlife Act — possessing a deer carcass — is 27 year old Leslie Lee Cross.
The younger Cross also faces 14 charges under the Criminal Code — a single count of possessing a loaded handgun, one count of carelessly storing ammunition and a dozen counts of carelessly storing a variety of firearms.
Lawyer for the men appeared in Bridgewater court to ask for more time to review the case and was given November 17th as the next court date.
