George Isenberg Jr., 52, pled guilty to one count of unlawfully transporting illegal game into Pennsylvania.

Game Commission WCO Dan Sitler received a tip in January that Isenberg had illegally taken a bull elk without a Colorado elk license.

"The Colorado Division of Wildlife was notified of the investigation and information was shared between officers of both states regarding the investigation and findings," Sitler said. "Two search warrants were executed in January: one for high school attendance and excuse records; and the second on the Isenberg's residence. The first warrant showed that his son, who actually was the one issued the bull tag, was back in Pennsylvania attending school. The second warrant on the residence produced 98 packages of meat and two 2008 Colorado hunting licenses.”

Isenberg was ordered to pay $566.50 in fines and court costs in Pennsylvania, and more than $2,800 in fines in Colorado. His hunting licenses were also revoked in both states.

"This is fine example of how two states and their wildlife agencies can work together for a common cause: protecting wildlife," Richard Palmer, Game Commission Bureau of Wildlife Protection, said. "It also is one example of how states place differing values on wildlife based on their fines and penalties."
