On Saturday, October 9th, a brawl broke out between two hunting parties in Pike County, Pennsylvania over a deer carcass. The result of which being two of the men would ultimately end up in the hospital.

Deer hunter Jason Frey of Bethlehem said he had shot a deer and tracked it onto neighboring property, Anthony Contino’s ground. When Contino and Frey eventually ran into each other, Contino told Frey that the deer had been shot earlier in the day by a guest of his and asked that Frey (and party) promptly leave his property. Frey then threatened to call the state game commission to rectify the incident.
