Nebraska outfitter co-owner gets probation in poaching case March 11, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The co-owner of a central Nebraska outfitter has been sentenced to probation in one of the state’s largest federal poaching cases. Nolan Hueftle, 60, of Broken Bow, was sentenced last week to five years’ probation and ordered to pay a $30,000 fine, the Omaha World-Herald reported. He had earlier pleaded guilty to violating the Lacey Act, which bans trafficking in illegally-gotten wildlife, fish and indigenous plants. Hueftle is the father of Jacob Hueftle, 31, who owned and ran Hidden Hills Outfitters of Broken Bow and was sentenced last year to 30 months in federal prison for violating the Lacey Act. The government contends Hidden Hills Outfitters, its owners and others provided guiding and outfitting services to hunting clients from around the country for the unlawful killing of nearly 100 animals in Nebraska.
