    Aggressive Defense Against Utah Fish And Wildlife Violation Charges

     

    The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is aggressive and sometimes overzealous in its efforts to stop poaching of big game, upland game, waterfowl and fish. Unfortunately, that means that many hunters and anglers who are innocent or who unknowingly violated the law are prosecuted as poachers.

    We can defend anyone accused of:

    • Hunting or fishing without a license
    • Taking big game without a permit or tag
    • Taking game out of season
    • Exceeding allotments or bag limits
    • Baiting or shining deer or elk
    • Hunting outside of a designated zone
    • Trespassing on private or restricted government lands
    • Shooting and firearms violations
    • Other hunting violations

    Harsh Penalties For Poaching Convictions

     

    The penalties for a poaching conviction may include jail time, fines and restitution, confiscation of hunting equipment and the loss of hunting privileges. Utah is a member of the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact, which means that you would be unable to obtain a hunting or fishing license in 40 other states.

    Utah’s mandatory minimum restitution for killing or possessing protected big game is staggering: $2,000 for pronghorn; $6,000 for bison, moose or mountain goats; up to $8,000 for deer or elk (trophy specimens); and $30,000 for bighorn sheep.
