[DWBMontana]

A couple guys hunting coyotes in Big Hole river country were cited for shooting wolves from a helicopter, which is illegal currently here in Montana.

Who ratted them out? Likely some granola eaters.

 Aircraft are a great idea as they don't leave tire tracks, nor do they trigger survelliance cameras positioned over gates or junctions. But they do have tail numbers, the exception being ultralights.

I like the go fund me idea!

Me too, I would definitely pitch in to help pay their fine.

Looks like they both paid already, less than $500 each and no forfeiture of hunting priviledges. Overall a pretty easy let off considering the circumstances. No landowner permission and with the helicopter involved.

I love happy endings.

A Montana game warden told me it was cheaper to get a ticket in Montana than hunt legal in Washington.

They definitely got off easy! I’m surprised.
