Question 3: (5 points)
An out-of-state hunter comes to Colorado to hunt big horn sheep. He hires a guide but after a week of hunting the hunter has not had any luck. While driving on the highway back to the hotel, the guide sees a big horn sheep on the side of the highway. They get out of the truck and shoot it. Unfortunately, the sheep is not in the unit that the hunter has a tag for, and it is located too close to the highway to be lawfully hunted. A passing motorist calls the sheriff and reports them.

What liability does the hunter face?

If the hunter and guide are not happy with the agency’s enforcement decision, what options do they have?

Extra Credit (5 points)
A foreign government enters into a contract with a US company to provide computer equipment and services for the intelligence arm of its military forces. After the equipment is delivered, the foreign government refuses to pay. The US company files suit in federal court in the United States, seeking to attach a US bank account owned by the foreign government. The foreign government claims that the US court has no jurisdiction and that even if it does, the government is immune from suit.

What is the result? Why? (be sure to explain your reasoning fully)
