Hunting show host from Georgia banned for life from hunting in Kansas
A hunting-show host from Georgia has received a lifetime hunting ban in Kansas for illegally killing deer in that state. Matt Jennings, 35, host of 'The Game,' pleaded guilty to two counts of 'illegal taking of a white-tailed deer in interstate commerce,' according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Jennings, from Bowden, Ga., also admitted to using footage from the hunts on his show. Jennings was sentenced this week to five years probation and banned from hunting or fishing in Kansas for the rest of his life as a result of the case, which originated in 2022. ALSO: Wolf found dead in Rocky Mountain National Park likely killed by cougar On Nov. 11, 2022, Jennings killed an antlered deer near Florence, Kansas, without a valid tag. He then drove the deer to Oklahoma, where he registered the kill using an Oklahoma tag. On Nov. 19, 2022, Jennings killed another antlered deer near Wakeeney, Kansas. He had a valid permit for the area, but violated state law by exceeding the bag-limit of one antlered deer per season. Jennings was ordered to pay $15,000 in restitution to the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, and a $10,000 fine. He also was ordered to forfeit the antlers from the deer he poached. Additionally, during his probation, Jennings cannot guide, hunt, trap, or fish in Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota. The case was investigated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, with assistance from agencies in other states.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings wants extension or trade, says league source
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings is looking for an extension or a trade, according to a league source. Jennings, 28, is set to make $7.5 million in the final year of his existing contract. With Brandon Aiyuk still rehabbing an ACL and MCL tear in his right knee that he suffered in October and likely to be listed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list at the start of the season, Jennings is expected to be the team's top receiver. In 15 games and 10 starts, Jennings made 77 catches for 975 yards and six touchdowns in a breakout 2024 campaign that followed three prior seasons in which he started only seven games combined and accrued no more than 416 receiving yards in any season. Jennings signed a two-year, $15.39 million contract extension last offseason. If an agreement is not reached by the time veterans are required to report to training camp next Tuesday, he intends to request a trade. He is not expected to be a camp holdout. When Jennings finished merely 25 yards shy of a 1,000-yard season in his first extended playing time, his market value has inevitably surged, setting the stage for his attempt to capitalize on such leverage with Aiyuk's timeline still in limbo. Jennings is atop the depth chart for a receiving corps staffed largely by unproven wideouts, including 2024 first-round pick Ricky Pearsall, 2025 fourth-round pick Jordan Watkins and second-year return specialist Jacob Cowing, among others. Demarcus Robinson, a veteran receiver the 49ers signed in the offseason, received a sentence of three years' probation for misdemeanor DUI charge and could be suspended by the NFL.
