Idaho executive charged with 20 illegal hunting charges

The co-founder of two Heber-based companies, Probst Electric and Summit Line Construction, is facing felony charges in Idaho for a series of alleged hunting violations.
quote:
Idaho court records show Karl W. Studer, 43, has been charged with five felonies and 15 misdemeanors.
quote:
The charges include unlawfully killing or wasting wildlife, molesting game animals with a motorized vehicle, hunting to spot wildlife from an aircraft, outfitting and guiding without a license and more.
quote:
On one occasion, hunters who reported seeing the helicopter told officers the aircraft was flying so low they “could have hit it with an arrow.”
quote:
Studer is also accused of paying the pilot $133,500 to fly employees of Probst Electric, who shot coyotes from the helicopter that summer and fall.
quote:
The affidavit states Studer allegedly paid $153,000 to buy hunting tags from multiple people. Selling tags is against the law. In one instance, Studer allegedly killed an elk, stored it in a refrigerated trailer without tagging it, then texted a friend to buy his tag.
quote:
He’s also charged with illegally possessing live wildlife. A conservation officer’s search of Studer’s cell phone revealed videos of Studer talking to a pronghorn he’d shot but did not kill. One video shows him asking the live animal, “Do you think you should go home and hang at the ranch?” The video shows the pronghorn remained alive in the back of his truck as he drove. The conservation officer stated Studer failed to ensure the animal was dead “and then took the time to make two videos, prolonging its death intentionally.”
quote:
Studer is also accused of killing more elk than was legal in the 2023 hunting season and, after surpassing his bag limit, continuing to hunt elk.

this is the work I like and support of our conservation officers.
Not ticketing some guy for shooting a dove from a vehicle because his feet weren't touching the ground when sitting on a tailgate. Or fining a kid on his 16th birthday for not having a fishing license.
Those types of tickytack tickets only grow the distaste for greenjeans and imo, ultimately hurt the resource they are suppose to be protecting.

Or ticketing a fully licensed old guy trying to use the app who didn’t know that he had to push one more button to “get tags”….
After showing him the additional button and doing it for him.

He should get a lifetime ban for that. I hate crippling anything and I’m far from a bleeding heart but I feel obligated to finish one as fast I can when I do cripple even a duck.

Yeah he is a shitty human for that. Agee with lifetime ban.

This right here pisses me off in a different way. Whether you respect the la is one thing. Being a decent human is another. Not buying a license or even killing over the limit, while I don’t like, is a different bad. Torturing an innocent animal by keeping it alive is way more messed up in my opinion.
