Laramie, WY – Two sets of brothers were fined more than $23,000 for shooting ten elk and leaving most of them to rot. Game Warden Alan Osterland says if there was a hunting rule to be broken, these men broke it.

"It's by far the worst example of sportsmanship, the worst example I've ever investigated," he said.

Osterland gave an example. "One of the guys never walked up to the carcass, the elk, to see if it was indeed dead. The last elk that we found was still breathing and we had to euthanize it," he said.
