DAYTON — A Kennewick man has been fined $11,345 after admitting he poached a trophy-size bull elk in the Blue Mountains of southeastern Washington.
The Tri-City Herald reported that Jason Locke pleaded guilty in Columbia County District Court.
Game officials said he killed two elk and
wrongly used his wife’s permit tag to claim one of them.
Locke also faces charges in Benton and Chelan county. He’s accused of guiding commercial steelhead trips on the Columbia River without a license, making a false report to Fish and Wildlife, and unlawful big game hunting.
