The Game
It was an undercover (er, under sleeping bag) operation for two DOW officers posing as hunters. The sting involved cryptic radio messages, camping gear and video cameras. The prize: poachers. The bad guys, said to be from Kansas, had thought no game wardens would catch them in the high country. Their smugness earned them a $45,000 fine.
