So they were convicted of Felonies for these offenses?

[TacticalCowboy]

I figured they would go to jail

[AZST_bowhunter]

They should have called the park/game warden when it crossed into the park.

Here's another version of the story, a little more info:https://www.jhnewsandguide.com/news/...0618e7c98.html

Throw the book at 'em.

I have killed elk in that zone on the edge of the park and it is not marked out especially in the snow, you need to be careful where you go. It is big country, there are no fences and few markings. It is not a big deal to be 100 yds off, they will learn and pay the price being young and inexperienced. Bad to have it on your record but it isn't like they were hunting cats in the park.

Three lessons in this tale.

1. Don't put your life on social media.
2. When you are questioned by LEOs, tell the **** truth the first time.
3. Make your own "buffer" when using a GPS next to a property you have no business being on. The civilian models just get you close.

Hate to hear the way it appears this played out. On the bright side the comments were pretty good.

Maybe. I don't think we will ever know the true details. Just probably where it was finally killed with the 8th shot.
