Madison - Rep. Joel Kleefisch (R-Oconomowoc) said he's been cited for killing two turkeys with one shot.
Kleefisch said Monday he was hunting Sunday in Waukesha County when he killed the tom as well as a nearby jake with pellets from the same shot.
He said he didn't mean to shoot the jake but called a warden because he lacked a tag for the second bird. He was told he would be cited since he was warned several years ago about being sure of his target when he dropped three geese with one shot.
Kleefisch said the citation is in the mail and he expects to be fined anywhere from $200 to $300.
A state Department of Natural Resources spokesman didn't immediately return an email seeking comment.

And he turned himself in. This isn’t unheard of. My husband once shot 3 ducks with one shot. It happens.
As I said in my comment, this is purely political, IMO. The DNR doesn’t like the new budget. The only reason he’s being cited is that he’s married to the Lt. Governor. How can you control the spray of of shotgun?
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
A good hunter..waits until he has a clear shot. Period.
Yawn. Snore....
As I said, how can you control the spray of a shotgun? Pellets go where they will go.
Well....there’s these things called “chokes”...for one thing.
We are overrun with wild turkey around here. They are becoming a problem.
What’s your point?
Not true....in any way.
I killed a rabbit with a golf ball once.........
What was the rabbit doing with that golf ball?
What on earth is going on in that gif??
I killed a squirrel with a car.
You could very well be right. We don’t know for sure. But he did turn himself in so I guess they had to fine him. But why this had to be news is beyond me. My guess it is because he is not a dem but then again a dem most likely won’t have self reported. Bottom line is he did the right thing by reporting it.
Pitch hit a bird
: )
Pigeon hit by pitch.
Randy Johnson. Fastball. Bird.
Poof.
