Criminal Trespass

[S11]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Montana

I deer hunt in a area that borders a highly watched private property to make a long story short I shot a buck 80 yards in the public property the buck jumped the fence and died I did nor reliese I had to have permission to recover down game I jumped the fence to gather my deer and was caught I got charged with criminal trespass

My question is I have been working very hard to get into law enforcement how bad will this charge look on my record when they see this?? DO i still stand a chance at my dream Also what is the diff between criminal trespass and trespass in the state of montana?

What do you mean "what is the diff between criminal trespass and trespass"? Sure, there's a civil cause of action for trespass, usually focusing on ending a trespass or recovering damages from a trespass, but how would that possibly be relevant?

I suggest consulting a local criminal defense lawyer about the possibility of getting the charge dismissed, perhaps conditionally, or some other outcome that will allow you to avoid a criminal record, based upon your age, (presumably) clean record, the facts of the offense, and career aspirations.
