Interesting to note is that United States Outfitters (USO) - one of the biggest outfitters in the country - is also named in the indictment. Anyone considering a hunt with them may want to re-think it.....

NM man indicted for planning to hunt elk from plane
Last Update: Tuesday, October 1, 2002
(Phoenix-AP) -- A New Mexico man is among two that have been indicted in Phoenix on federal charges of using or conspiring to use aircraft to hunt elk.
The indictment names big game outfitter George Taulman of Taos and one of his employees, David Holton the Third of Lake Montezuma, Arizona. Taulman's company, United States Outfitters, also is named in the indictment.
The indictment also seeks forfeiture of a company-owned airplane.
The US Attorney's Office in Phoenix said the indictments stem from a two-year-old investigation that began in 1998. The probe focused on several big game guides based in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah and so far has led to the convictions of a dozen people.
