Brennon D. Witty, 25, was charged with killing an endangered species and hunting with a centerfire rifle without a big game tag, Harney County District Attorney Tim Colahan said Monday.

Witty told state police and wildlife officials that he’d shot a wolf while hunting coyotes on private property. Both charges are Class A misdemeanors, each punishable by up to a year in jail and a $6,250 fine. Witty will be arraigned Dec. 2 in Grant County Justice Court in Canyon City.
