POACHERS FINED
Beus will pay $15,000 in fines and will not be allowed to hunt in 24 states, including Utah, for the next 11 years.
Michael Moore of Arizona, a co-defendant, pleaded guilty to attempted poaching, which is a class A misdemeanor. Moore was fined $8,000, and he also will not be allowed to hunt for the next 10 years.
Moore shot one trophy bull on Sept. 29, 2005, then a second the following day. Beus placed his brother's tag on the first elk.
The break in the case came through an anonymous tip provided to the Help Stop Poaching Hotline 1-800-662-3337.
SWANS ARE IN

Most of the swans spotted during the airplane survey flown during midmorning on Nov. 7 were on Unit 1 at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge west of Brigham City.
A total of 9,308 swans were counted on the Bear River club, and 2,354 swans were counted at the clubs on the southeastern shore.
