Two archers who went to Yellowstone National Park to videotape themselves shooting bull elk pleaded guilty to poaching after authorities recognized park vistas on the tape. Donald Eugene Lewis, 38, of Cedar Bluff, Ala., and Arthur Sims, 40, of Huntsville, Ala., shot at least three trophy bull elk in Yellowstone, which is off-limits to hunters, Assistant U.S. Atty. Kip Crofts said. Lewis and Sims made the tape in September, 1991. Lewis was arrested in Utah in November, 1991, for a wildlife violation, and game wardens found the tape in his truck.
