NASHVILLE — In the harshest penalty ever handed down by the TWRA, two hunters have been banned from ever hunting again in 43 states.

Officials accuse La Vergne natives Densibel Calzada and Eddy Albert, both under the age of 25, with poaching — illegally killing as many as 40 deer, then posting what investigators describe as grotesque photos online with the dead animals.

Along with the punishment, both must pay $6,000 in restitution and perform more than 100 hours of community service.
