Witness video and photos helped wardens investigate a Bozeman man who was later convicted in a Madison County hunting case, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) announced in a release.
Juan Garcia-Gomez pleaded guilty last month in Madison County Justice Court to misdemeanor counts of unlawful possession of a game animal, unlawful hunting from a public highway and failing to validate his general deer license.
According to the press release, the case came from a joint investigation involving FWP and the Madison County Sheriff’s Office stemming from a witness video near Jeffers in November that showed Garcia-Gomez in the roadway, leaning against his vehicle and shooting a mule deer buck on a nearby hillside. The release said he then loaded the animal into his vehicle and left.
