Two-year investigation leads to convictions for wildlife violations

A two-year investigation led by Idaho Fish and Game Conservation Officers in the Magic Valley Region has resulted in multiple convictions and significant restitution following the discovery of unlawfully taken wildlife in southern Idaho. 

In October 2023, Idaho Fish and Game Conservation Officers identified a group of individuals hunting in the southern portion of game management unit 54, near Rogerson, Idaho. Through surveillance efforts, officers suspected the group was unlawfully taking mule deer without valid tags.
