A boastful Cut Bank poacher, whose hunting, fishing and trapping privileges 
already have been suspended for life, now faces a felony charge in District 
Court, as well as a raft of misdemeanors. 
Gary Roger Motarie, 40, is charged with possession of unlawfully taken 
wildlife, a felony, and 16 misdemeanors: five counts of hunting without a license, 
five of improperly transferring a license and five of hunting while revoked, 
and one count of possession of an unlawfully taken black bear. 
The felony carries up to 10 years in prison and a $50,000 fine. Having no 
licenses, improper transfer and illegal possession of a black bear are punishable 
by up to six months in jail, a fine of $50 to $1,000, restitution and the 
loss of all hunting, fishing and trapping privileges. Hunting while your license 
is revoked carries five days to six months in jail and a $500 to $2,000 fine.
