Three men in New Mexico are facing federal charges for allegedly running a scheme to obtain elk hunting tags intended for residents and selling them to out-of-state hunters. Prosecutors said the men used fake accounts and false information to acquire the tags, which were then sold through their outfitting business. They are also accused of failing to report the profits from these sales to the IRS. The men now face federal charges, including conspiracy, wire fraud, and wildlife law violations.
