Guide Charged with Leading Illegal Hunts in CO and MO
Denver Post 3/21, 2006
A Missouri hunting guide who allegedly led illegal
hunts and killed and discarded numerous animals in
Colorado and Missouri over a five-year period has been
charged with 22 counts of hunting violations,
including 8 felonies. Two of his hunting clients also
face multiple charges.
Gregory Jaegers, 40, who owned Renegade Guide Service
in Ste. Genevieve, MO, allegedly operated without a
guide license and took elk, deer, bear, turkeys and a
mountain lion before a team of wildlife investigators
from three states put together a case against him.
The investigation into the hunting activities of
Jaegers and clients and co-defendants Richard W.
Schroeder, 45, of Festus, MO, and Kevin Schweiss, 47,
of Bloomsdale, MO, began in 2003, when wildlife agents
in Colorado and Missouri were tipped off by agents in
Wyoming that an illegal Missouri-based hunting
business might be operating in Colorado. The three
were indicted earlier this month.
During the lengthy investigation, four other hunting
clients of Jaegers were charged with wildlife
violations and paid fines and penalties. Additional
defendants are expected to be charged.
