EAGLE - An Eagle Idaho man has been officially charged with poaching a wolf.
Idaho Fish and Game says Randy Strickland was arraigned Sept. 22 in Valley County on misdemeanor charges of taking a game animal illegally and shooting from or across a public highway.
Fish and Game says the wolf was shot at about 6 p.m. Sept. 6 in the McCall-Weiser wolf zone, which was closed to wolf hunting at the time.
If convicted, Strickland could face fines of $200 - $1,000, a $400 civil penalty and up to six months in jail.
A pre-trial conference is scheduled for Nov. 16.
