An Armstrong man who shot and killed an adult female deer in Okanagan Falls while intoxicated two years ago -- leaving two fawns without their mother -- was sentenced to 75 hours of community work and prohibited from hunting for 10 years.

Robert Magee, 49, who pleaded guilty to one count of endangering wildlife outside of approved hours under the provincial Wildlife Act, had no criminal record. He apologized profusely for his actions, telling a Penticton court Friday he was going through a difficult time in his life when this incident took place.

Besides the community work, which he will have to complete over two years, and the hunting ban, Magee was fined $500 and ordered to not possess any prohibited weapon, including a crossbow and arrows, firearm or ammunition for two years.
