Devin J. Reppe has been fined $5,610, lost his hunting and fishing privileges for seven years, sentenced to 40 hours community service and forfeited his rifle for poaching an elk.

“Reppe killed an elk after dark from a road near Roy,” said Shawn Briggs, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks game warden. “He shot the bull and left it.
And he used a rifle during archery season.”

This shooting occurred while Reppe had his hunting and fishing privileges revoked for a 2011 incident in which he participated in shooting a white-tailed doe after dark.

Reppe’s sentence included fines of $5,610.00, lost hunting privileges for 84 months, 40-hours of community service, and forfeiture of his firearm.
