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.
