The offenses  took place 2010 to 2014.The judge imposed $11,180 in fines,  restitution and court costs, and revoked Alwine’s hunting privileges for  four years. Alwine also had to forfeit all the animal parts that were  seized during the investigation which included five elk and three deer.An  anonymous tip kicked off the year-long investigation. It was discovered  that Alwine, of Chewelah, WA, had been hunting for years on private  property in the Crazy Mountains without landowners’ permission. Some of  the illegal hunts were featured on “Trophy State of Mind” and other  videos Alwine produced.As part of the investigation, in March of  2015 Regional Investigator Chad Murphy and Livingston area Game Warden  Drew Scott traveled to Spokane and worked with the Washington Department  of Fish & Game. They interviewed Alwine and collected evidence of  the wildlife crimes including antlers, mounts and capes.“Warden  Scott did an excellent job in the investigation in identifying animals  Alwine and his associates had killed over the years," Murphy said. "He  worked with his local landowners and ranch managers to locate the kill  sites.”Other suspects charged in the investigation include Dalton  Harum and Zach Samek (both from Washington). Harum was fined $170 for  failing to obtain landowner permission and forfeited a set of elk  antlers from an elk he killed in 2014. Samek was fined $185 for criminal  trespassing.Matthew Alwine also pled guilty on Sept. 2 in  Missoula County Justice Court to unlawfully obtaining Montana resident  hunting licenses in 2014. He was fined $1,035.“Greed and ego are  generally the driving forces behind those that commit multiple wildlife  violations," Murphy said. "That was especially evident in this case with  Alwine boasting about his kills within the same day on his social media  sites.”</blockquote>
