If anyone is stopped bringing deer out and the tag is not validated in any way, it is class A misdemeanor and a maximum penalty would be $1,000 fine or 1 year in jail or both. If someone is caught poaching deer or shooting with a rifle or shooting at night during the archery hunt, the same penalties are in effect. Plus, if a deer is taken, a civil suit can be filed against the the person for $750 estimated worth of a deer. Hunters can also lose their hunting privileges for up to five years and any equipment used in the unlawful taking, can be seized by a con- servation officer and be confiscated by the court, said Hovinga. That can even include a vehicle. It is also unlawful for archery hunters to have in their possession, any rifle, either at their camp or in their vehicle. Hovinga says it gets to be a joke, when deer are taken with 22 caliber arrows. He said if DWR has to, they can test to detmerine whether a deer was shot with an arrow or a bullet. The important to thing he says remember, is if hunters obey the law, they dont have anything to worry about and can enjoy the hunt. conservation Assorted can hunters those who break the law and are caught could receive what happened to James Spencer, Provo Caron and Griffin, Escalante.
