An arrest warrant has been issued for Austin, Texas, businessman Jeffrey Scott Hawn in connection with the shooting of 32 bison in Park County in March.

The warrant says Hawn is wanted on one count of felony theft, one count of felony criminal mischief and 32 counts of aggravated cruelty to animals, a Class 6 felony.

The bison were shot and killed on private ranches and state and federal lands about 15 miles southeast of Hartsel.

At the time of the shootings, Park County Sheriff Fred Wegener said his deputies had never seen anything like it.

"There are just hundreds of acres with carcasses laying out there," said Wegener. "There are carcasses and hides."

The 14 hunters suspected of shooting the bison belonging to ranchers Monte and Tracy Downare were camped at the nearby Hawn Ranch.

I just don't understand the intent behind the crime, or don't want to.

I'm mentally reliving that scene from "Dances with Wolves"..."We must find these people..."...

This is great news. Hawn found some people that aren’t going to put up with his “not me” attitude. Even if he’s not convicted this will be very unpleasant for him, and expensive.

Thanks for the ping, George.

I’d still like to know how many times the buffalo have went through the fence onto his property.

34 felony counts is pretty good. I don’t know the possible sentences, but Hawn is probably thinking “I’m not going to be in Austin for a while”. If the trial is held around Fairplay, CO lets hope the same sense of fair play holds that resulted in the town getting its name!
