The U.S. Supreme Court will review a case in which Herrera, a Crow tribal member and former game warden from Montana, is asserting his treaty right to hunt elk in the Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming. The Billings Gazette reports the high court agreed Thursday, June 28, 2018, to review the case of Herrera, who was found guilty of killing an elk in Wyoming in January 2014.
