Idaho Falls man sentenced in multi-year Wyoming poaching spree

A multi-year investigation recently wrapped up in Lincoln County on Sept. 24  when Rodney Gilstrap of Idaho Falls, Idaho, was sentenced on multiple wildlife-related charges following an appeal filed in August 2024. The charges stemmed from Gilstrap falsely claiming to be a Wyoming resident beginning in 2018 and then illegally killing deer, elk, and pronghorn in western Wyoming.
