AUBURN — A Turner man who faces eight hunting-related charges in connection with an illegal hunting ring failed Wednesday to convince a judge to drop two of the charges on constitutional grounds.

Paul Corey, attorney for Carlton “John” Enos, who was 19 when he was charged earlier this year, argued in Androscoggin County Superior Court that the state law under which Enos was charged with driving deer is so vague that it’s unconstitutional.

The law says that three or fewer hunters are allowed to hunt in a group as long as they don’t use a noise-making device.

“I believe that language is not specific enough,” Corey said. Some people might interpret it to allow deer driving, despite a preface prohibiting such actions.

But Justice MaryGay Kennedy disagreed. She’s not a hunter, she said, but finds the statute to be comprehensible.

“I don’t find it to be ambiguous, and I don’t find it to be vague,” she said, denying Corey’s motion.

Enos faces hunting-related charges along with a father and son from Turner and two others. Most members of the group also face multiple charges in Pennsylvania.
