GREEN LAKE, Wis. (AP) — A 19-year-old Wisconsin man who authorities say took part in the “thrill killing” of 15 deer last year has been sentenced to six months in jail.

Oshkosh Northwestern Media reports Grant Boese, of Ripon, pleaded no contest in Green Lake County court Monday to six counts of failing to obtain a deer hunting license. A judge also sentenced him to three years of probation, and ordered he lose his hunting privileges for 12 years.

A plea agreement with prosecutors resulted in 122 other counts against Boese being dropped.

Court documents say Boese’s deer kills included shooting 11 deer from the passenger seat of a vehicle in late November. According to the complaint, Boese and two other men led law enforcement on a chase on Nov. 29 before getting stuck in a marshy field in the town of Princeton.
