Straight from the DOJ, and not hearsay:
Wade Lemon, 63, of Holden, Utah, was sentenced July 18, 2024, to two months’ imprisonment, ordered by the court to pay a $10,500 fine, and a one-year commercial ban on federal land. According to court documents, and statements made during his change of plea hearing, Lemon admitted to illegally participating in “canned” mountain lion hunts on January 24, 2021 and December 15, 2020 on Federal BLM and National Forest Service land. Utah law prohibits “canned hunts” of mountain lions. A canned hunt means that a cougar is treed, cornered, held at bay or its ability to escape is otherwise restricted to allow a person who was not a member of the initial hunting party to arrive and take the cougar. The federal Lacey Act prohibits selling in interstate commerce any wildlife taken or sold in violation of state law. The Lacey Act defines the “sale” of wildlife to include providing guiding or outfitting services.
Lemon owns and operates Wade Lemon Hunting based in Holden, Utah. Lemon advertises his business on his website and boasts nearly 100% success rates yearly. However, Lemon has cheated in illegal canned cougar hunts and has defrauded hunters.
This has been posted at least 3 previous times in this thread. I'm sure Tri will try to distract by talking about about "mailing a cat skin" or something about hate, but I want this just to be about Wade Lemon's criminal behavior. Nothing more.
Steers try, Tri! Better luck next time.
What about the 3 out of the 12 you mentioned above that are not hearsay and can be proved up? Let's talk about those so we don't stray off the path here. I did notice in the quote above it says "Lemon has cheated in illegal canned cougar hunts and has defrauded hunters." Hunts, plural, not singular like in this case. Hunters, plural, not singular like in this case. Maybe you're talking about the same instances as the US Attorney here?
