A controversial bowhunting couple — famous for flaunting hunting trophies to hundreds of thousands of followers on social media — has been fined a whopping $133,000 for allegedly trafficking animals in Nebraska.

The pair were sentenced last week in a federal court in Omaha in what’s being labeled the largest poaching case in state history.

Josh Bowmar, 32, and Sarah Bowmar, 33, from Ohio were among dozens charged with embarking on dozens of illegal game-hunting excursions with the Broken Arrow, Nebraska-based Hidden Hills Outfitters between Sept. 10, 2015, and Nov. 6, 2017, KPVI reported.

During that time, the not-so-great white hunters had knowingly pursued white-tailed deer, wild turkeys and other animals without a valid license and by using bait, per the original 2020 indictment, the Daily Mail reported. The document states that they had employed numerous bait sites in order to “maximize their hunting effectiveness and success rate” or “attempt to kill a specific trophy deer.”
