They put her on probation for a year. What? Are they afraid she’s going to going around threatening bears? So she accidentally killed the second bear. So freaking what.

Don’t know.

Might be similar to (if you or others) recall that some California town wanted to eliminate military and allow it’s police force to repel invaders (cause they’d be breaking the law... or something).

I wonder if the “cover up” didn’t make things worse? I suppose you would still get fined, but it would sure sound better for all involved to have the article saying they called wildlife officials when they were able to tell them about the accidental shooting of the second bear. Instead of flying out another tag, covering it up, etc.

Situations like this, I need to remember when I get caught up with conspiracy theories. A few hunters alone in the remote woods of Alaska accidently kill a bear and they can’t keep it covered up!

I think her guides are at fault. She should not have signed and back dated the tag. They should have just called the game warden and I am sure it would have been fine. You must sign and date the tag at the time you harvest the animal. No back dating.
