Search warrants were issued for homes in Magna and Pleasant Grove, the business in Murray and several vehicles, and officers discovered at least 15 illegally taken bucks, including five considered trophies, as well as two young bull elk and four doe deer.
The animals, killed since the end of October, came from across the state, including Washington, Salt Lake, Morgan and Wasatch counties.
Hard to fathom what kind of numbers an operation like this might have racked up over several years and how many animals are taken illegally that are never caught.
