Original Note:
It’s more likely that the crime would simply be prosecuted in Wyoming. One man illegally shot an elk in the part of Yellowstone reaching into Montana. His case was brought to Wyoming, and he settled for 4yrs jail time on condition he not appeal using this loophole. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/03/31/fact-check-yellowstones-death-zone-may-not-free-conviction/6956880002/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/zone-of-death-yellowstone/
