In federal court documents reviewed by Newsweek, prosecutors said that the Bowmars “agreed to purchase hunting and guiding services” from Hidden Hills Outfitters, which is based near Broken Bow, Nebraska, several times between 2015 and 2017.

In the plea agreement document, prosecutors wrote that the Bowmars bought the services “for the purpose of taking, possessing and acquiring wildlife, some of which was attempted to be taken in violation of the laws and regulations of the State of Nebraska.” The wildlife acquired in Nebraska was taken to Ohio, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors also said that the Bowmars posted footage of their hunts with Hidden Hills Outfitters on their Instagram page, YouTube account and company website. The couple’s Instagram account, bowmarbowhunting, features pictures and videos of them hunting, and has 336,000 followers.

According to the Omaha World-Herald, the Bowmars’ case was linked to what is described as the “largest known case of poaching” in Nebraska. More than 30 people have been convicted in connection to actions involving Hidden Hills Outfitters.

In exchange for pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge, four other charges, including those alleging that the pair participated in illegal baiting, were dropped, according to the Omaha World-Herald. The guilty plea was entered on October 19.

“We agree 100% that we should have known better, and for the record, we take responsibility for that,” Josh Bowmar said Wednesday, according to the newspaper. “At the end of the day, we were fighting to make sure [that it is clear] that we never poached or baited deer illegally.”

“We had to take into account the mental stress and anxiety and everything that goes into going to trial,” Sarah Bowmar said, according to the World-Herald. “We were fine with taking responsibility for what [federal prosecutors] brought. What they dropped is what we were fighting.”

The Bowmars face a maximum sentence of a year in prison and a $100,000 fine.

Newsweek reached out to the Bowmars’ attorney and federal prosecutors for comment.

In a separate case in February, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said investigators were searching for a poacher who allegedly shot and decapitated a deer before abandoning the scene in a white pickup.

In January, wildlife officials in Washington state said they were searching for those responsible for illegally killing two bull elk while leaving a third shot, injured and paralyzed.
