Here are the penalties for the two poaching offenses for which an Eagle man was cited, after shooting a female wolf pup about 30 miles east of Cascade on Sunday:

Shooting a firearm from a public road, a standard misdemeanor, carries possible fines of $25 to $1,000, and up to six months in jail.

Shooting a wolf in a closed season also is a misdemeanor, but because it involves a big game animal, it carries a minimum fine of $200 and maximum of $1,000, a $400 civil penalty, and a loss of hunting, fishing and/or trapping privileges for one to three years, along with up to six months in jail.
