2 MEN INDICTED FOR ILLEGAL KILLING, SELLING & SHIPPING EAGLES

 

 

After a federal investigation revealed incriminating text messages and PayPal transactions, Travis John Branson and Simon Paul have been charged with multiple felonies for poaching bald and golden eagles in northwestern Montana, as well as selling and shipping their parts, according to Outdoorlife.com.

Back on December 7th, a federal grand jury issued an indictment in the U.S. District Court of Montana charging the two men with multiple felonies related to illegally killing, selling, and shipping parts from 3,600 birds including federally protected bald and golden eagles.

The federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940 prohibits any take of bald and golden eagles without a special permit from the Department of Interior.

According to the indictment, penalties for a first offense of trafficking bald and golden eagles can reach a $5,000 fine and a year in prison. Penalties are elevated for second and subsequent convictions to $10,000 in fines and two years in prison. Additionally, the penalty for conspiracy is a $250,000 fine with up to five years of prison and 3 years of supervised release. Lastly, adding on the penalty of the Lacey Act could add up to five years behind bars, supervised release, and another $20,000 fine.

The Lacey Act, signed in 1900 by President William McKinley, the Lacey Act protects plants, fish, and animals by civilly and criminally penalizing those who violate its provisions. Including prohibiting the importation of invasive or harmful species, or their introduction to the environment (for example, zebra mussels into lakes and rivers) according to Outdoorlife.com.

 

 

 

 

KENT ROLLINS, THE COWBOY COOK

Guests: Kent & Shannon Rollins

 

"SMOKED BOLOGNA" by Kent Rollins

‘Red Rind Steak’ would be the name that Kent Rollins's daddy always called Bologna. Kent Rollins shares a recipe that transforms this fine ‘Red Rind Steak’ or Beef Bologna into a delicacy that will have you replacing the typical staple meats, like ham, at holidays such as Christmas. This budget-friendly, often overlooked meat, is transformed into a mouth-watering Smoked Bologna. Topped with a respectable glaze, that will have you saying “Move Over Christmas Ham, we’re here for the Bologna!” Kent Rollins special sauce is a mixture of brown sugar, honey Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and coarse ground black pepper. Click Here for Recipe.

"BEST SMOKED MEATLOAF" by Kent Rollins

This classic comfort food, Meatloaf, is given new life as Kent Rollins mixes a spicy meatloaf that's then tossed in the smoker. To make the Best Smoked Meatloaf a part of the twist is that Kent Rollins blends both beef and pork that is then smothered in a special sauce made with honey caramelization and added horseradish for some kick plus the addition of surprise ingredients like Serrano and Poblano Peppers! Click Here fo Recipe.
