Greg Julian of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency received a call from a homeowner, who was alerted on his phone that his home security system had been tripped. The homeowner yelled at the trespassers through the intercom to scare them off.

However, that evening, the two men returned. as seen the in the surveillance footage, to track the deer they shot.

The men did not have permission to be on the property, and deer season closed on Jan. 8th.

Officers reviewed the footage and located the perpetrators for an interview.

Donnie Marcum, 65, of La Follette, was charged with hunting from a public road, hunting in closed season, and hunting from a motor vehicle.

Tyler Marcum, 18, of La Follette, was charged with hunting from a public road, hunting in closed season, hunting from a motor vehicle, hunting big game with rimfire ammunition, and hunting without hunter education.
