McKenzie Hurgate booked after killing turkey while using cracked corn as bait

32-year-old McKenzie Vincent Hurgate, a Ramsay Solutions employee, killed a turkey with the aid of cracked corn at his Charlotte Pike residence on April 13th. TWRA officers observed that Hurgate checked in a turkey and did not have a valid license. Then, after interviewing Hurgate, officers concluded that he killed the turkey on his property. Hence, they allowed him to claim landowner exemption to fix the hunting without a license issue. However, Hurgate used bait as an aid, which is illegal in Tennessee. He was then cited for the occurrence that day. Hurgate was later booked on the citation of hunting with aid bait on July 22nd.
