RENO, Nev. (AP) — A 27-year-old Nevada man convicted in the illegal
killing two mule bucks in a remote part of eastern Pershing County has
been fined more than $5,000 and sentenced to 10 days in jail.
Matthew J. Jones also faces three years of probation. The former
Lovelock man now living in Elko is banned from hunting, fishing or
trapping in Nevada and 32 other states.
Chief Game Warden Rob Buonamici says Jones and a teenage hunter
killed a small buck but walked away from it, leaving it to waste last
October.
Buonamici says the pair bagged a second much larger buck two days
later. He called the case "sickening."
In addition to the penalties, Jones forfeits a Kawasaki Prairie ATV,
a Savage .243 rifle and a digital camera seized at the scene.
