Agents cited Ashley Jacobsen, 24, for hunting without basic hunting, bow and big game hunting licenses and failing to comply with deer tagging requirements.
Agents received a tip about Jacobsen harvesting a 12-point deer with a crossbow without the required licenses. During the investigation, agents interviewed Jacobsen on Feb. 19 and she admitted to not having the required licenses when she harvested the deer on Dec. 4.

Jacobsen may also face civil restitution totaling $2,033 for the replacement value of the illegally taken deer. Agents seized the antlers.
