Two men, accused of illegally killing 13 animals in the state's second major poaching case this month, were charged Tuesday.

A tipster on the state poaching hot line led authorities in Garfield County to a home and shed in Panguitch, where they found the heads of eight mule deer bucks, one mule deer doe and two pronghorn bucks, the state Department of Wildlife Resources officials reported Tuesday in a press release.

The suspects in the case also admitted to taking an additional mule deer buck and mule deer doe, the department wrote.

The two men, 35 and 19, are both of Panguitch. The 35-year-old faces two third-degree felony counts of wanton destruction of protected wildlife and a third-degree felony count of aiding or assisting in wanton destruction of protected wildlife. He also faces one misdemeanor count of wanton destruction of wildlife, two misdemeanor counts of aiding or assisting in the violation of wildlife code, six misdemeanor counts of aiding or assisting in wanton destruction of protected wildlife and misdemeanor counts of tampering with evidence, obstruction of justice, criminal solicitation and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The 19-year-old was charged with one third-degree felony count each of wanton destruction of protected wildlife and aiding or assisting the violation of wildlife code. He also was charged with six misdemeanor counts of wanton destruction of protected wildlife, four misdemeanor counts of aiding or assisting in wanton destruction of protected wildlife, and misdemeanor counts of criminal solicitation and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The hot line tip came two days after four Utah County men were charged with poaching 18 deer, wildlife officials said. The Utah Turn-In-A-Poacher hot line number is 800-662-DEER, or e-mail a report to turninapoacher@utah.gov
