Nevada Game Wardens Break Up Poaching Ring

Thanks to www.outdoorpressroom.com for the story below.

Years-long investigation closes with felony wildlife and weapons charges for multiple offenders.

Nevada game wardens have concluded an investigation of a poaching ring involving three suspects in several counties, spanning almost two years in a case that has netted a dozen felony charges and uncovered the illegal killing of dozens of animals.

The suspects in the poaching ring are Adrian Acevedo-Hernandez, aka “El Pantera,” 36, Jose Luis Montufar-Canales, 31, and J. Nemias Reyes Marin, 31. An initial arrest of a fourth, separate suspect, Jose Manuel Ortega-Torres, 30, led to the three men who were determined to be actively engaging in several different wildlife crimes, prompting an in-depth investigation of the three men by game wardens. Ortega-Torres is from Lincoln County and the men involved in the poaching ring were all living in Las Vegas.

“This case involved a lot of time, effort and commitment by game wardens,” said Chief Game Warden Tyler Turnipseed. “We followed one lead into another in what seemed to be a bottomless supply of wildlife crime. Hopefully the resulting fines, forfeitures and jail time will discourage this kind of systemic criminal activity in the future.”

In June of 2013, Nevada game wardens received information that two deer had been unlawfully killed on a farm near Hiko, Nev. Game wardens viewed an image publicly available through social media and confirmed that two female deer were unlawfully killed out of season in late May.

Game wardens identified one of the suspects in the photograph as Ortega-Torres. This led to a search warrant in Hiko at his residence, seizing illegal deer meat, trace evidence, unlawfully killed migratory birds, butchering tools, weapons and ammunition. Ortega-Torres was arrested at the same residence and later convicted in Lincoln County of a gross misdemeanor for unlawful possession of a mule deer. Read more

Despite Focus on Big Game by Media, Many Hunters Still Enjoy Small Game and Upland Hunting

FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. — With more than 10 million hunters pursuing the white-tailed deer in the United States, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, this iconic creature reigns supreme as the most hunted species of game animal in North America. Walk by the newsstand in the fall and glance at the covers of outdoor magazines and it would seem deer and other big game are virtually all that is of interest. But that perception would be wrong.  In fact, according to a recent study by HunterSurvey.com, about half of sportsmen surveyed said they had hunted small or upland game in the past year.
