US EditionMichigan Father, Son Facing Felony Charges After Killing Trophy Bull Elk, FWP Reports
Felony warrants allege illegal hunting of a trophy bull elk during closed archery season with penalties up to $60,000 in fines and possible jail time, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks said.
- Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks have issued arrest warrants for Michigan residents Ronald and Chad Schubert after investigating several illegal hunting activities in Treasure County during September 2022.
- The charges arise from an investigation that began after the Rosebud County Sheriff's Office alerted authorities to the unlawful killing of a trophy bull elk on private property without permission or a valid hunting permit.
- Chad Schubert allegedly killed the elk during archery-only season with a rifle, abandoned most of the meat, and faces additional pending charges for related hunting violations, while Ronald Schubert was present and charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass and assisting in transporting the elk's head and antlers.
- The Schuberts could face penalties including fines over $60,000, potential incarceration in a county detention facility, and suspension of their rights to hunt, fish, or trap. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks also urges the public to report wildlife violations, offering rewards up to $1,000 for helpful information.
- Authorities emphasized that all accused individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt, and multiple agencies assisted with the investigation, including Rosebud County and Michigan DNR.
