RANDOLPH, Utah - Two men accused of illegally killing an elk in northern Utah will perform community service at shooting ranges as part of their punishment.
State wildlife officers spent 72 hours hiking, riding all-terrain vehicles and even flying in search of the carcass before it was found by a hunting guide in November in Rich County.
Marshall Lindsay and Roger Nix, both from Cache County, pleaded guilty to destruction of protected wildlife, according to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. They did not have a permit to hunt a bull elk.
Lindsay, the shooter, will spend 30 days in jail, half of them on work release. He also was ordered March 27 to serve 240 hours of community service at shooting ranges.
Nix, who was with Lindsay, was sentenced to a week in jail and 120 hours of community service at shooting ranges.
State conservation Officer Kip King found them with an elk's head and some meat
Oct. 14. They declined to cooperate when asked to take him to the carcass, the wildlife agency said.
Lindsay and Nix must pay $8,000, the value of the elk.
They will not be allowed to hunt big game for 14 years, spokesman Mark Hadley said.
