This case had been kept quiet for the last year or so. A fine of 25k and suspension of hunting privileges for a year.
I note that Luke Ellsbury, a G&F employee/biologist, killed a grizzly bear in 2013. I think his fine was only $ 7,500.00. I could be wrong on that. I also note that Chris Queen, another G&F employee/warden, killed a grizzly bear in Sunlight Basin in 2017 while out elk hunting. He received no fine and the death was ruled self defense.
I guess if you want a break after shooting a grizzly bear, it may be better for you if you are wearing a red shirt and work for the G&F.
just sayin...mh
