Associated Press — April 19, 2004
JACKSON — A man has pleaded guilty to killing 11 elk in what Game and Fish wardens call one of the worst poaching cases they can remember.
In a plea agreement, prosecutors agreed to drop a felony charge of property destruction against Elliott Hudson, 20, of Jackson, in exchange for a guilty plea to 11 misdemeanors.
Hudson faces up to a year in jail and $104,900 in fines and restitution at his sentencing. He could also get five years probation and have his hunting privileges suspended up to 64 years. According to prosecutors, Hudson shot 11 elk Nov. 24 in the Gros Ventre River drainage. Witnesses reported the incident to Game and Fish wardens, who questioned Hudson with Jackson police at the scene.
During a court appearance last week, Hudson told District Judge Tim Day that he had a hunting license and knew that the Gros Ventre area was closed to hunting at that time.
