RESERVE-AREA RESIDENTS FINED MORE THAN $7,000 FOR ILLEGAL OUTFITTING, GUIDING
LAS CRUCES -- Two outfitters and a guide from the Reserve area will pay more than $7,000 in fines for violating special-use regulations while outfitting or guiding hunters in the Gila National Forest.
U.S. Magistrate William P. Lynch sentenced the three brothers on charges resulting from a joint investigation by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish and the Gila National Forest. Violations included non-compliance with federal and state special-use permit requirements for commercial operations. Citations were issued in 2007.
"The permits provide guidance and direction on commercial recreation activities, which affords the public a quality recreation experience and protects the forest's natural resources," said Craig Cowie, Recreation Staff Officer on the Gila National Forest.
Defendants and fines included: ........
