Chad Smith agrees to plea agreement

azbullhunter · Jan 9, 2016

On 12-15(or 14)-15 Chad Smith pled guilty to an information charging that he used an aircraft to harass wildlife. It is a misdemeanor. Part of the agreement is that he can not seek a hunting license in Arizona or anywhere,shall not participate in any hunting activity, shall surrender his guides license in AZ,shall divest himself of any interest in Vaquero outfitters.

If he complies with this order the government will dismiss the case on or before December 13, 2019

It is so disappointing to hear this. I've hunted with Vaquero and talked with Chad a couple times when I was DIY. He was always quite helpful and engaging.

Sad to see!

What happened to the helicopter that was used in this case and the owner of the chopter that was with Chad when this happened?

This has me wondering how many times they corralled lopes before they got caught.
I also wonder how much of Vaquero Outfitters hunting success is a result of this sort of criminal behavior. Everything they have in the record books should have an asterisk.

It's all bullshit anyway since Chad will end up cheating in NM, UT or somewhere else nearby.

Is he unable to obtain an Arizona hunting license for just a few years, or will this be forever?
