A jury has convicted a Moffat County rancher of poaching charges in the killing of elk found last spring in a hay field and along a highway and county roads.

The district court jury Friday convicted Rodney Culverwell of 16 of the 80 poaching charges filed against him. The charges included the felony crime of willful destruction of big game and misdemeanor charges of hunting without a license and hunting out of season.

Culverwell's sentencing hearing is scheduled Nov. 4 and the possible penalties include jail time, fines or parole.

Rancher Wolgram pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges in the case in August. He will be sentenced Sept. 25.
