A Kansas man has pleaded guilty to poaching a moose in Teller County. Officials with Colorado Parks and Wildlife say they’ve secured a conviction following a two-year investigation. Thirty-three-year-old Steven Samuelson pled guilty to a felony charge of willful destruction of wildlife, along with several other misdemeanor charges. He was also fined nearly 20 thousand dollars and given 65 points against his hunting license. According to CPW, Samuelson was sentenced to 2 years in jail, but the sentence is considered deferred, which means jail time will be waived if he meets the terms of a plea agreement.
