ANCHORAGE -- A hunter from Georgia was fined more than $14,000 for killing a brown bear without a proper license last year in Kodiak.
Alaska State Troopers say 57-year-old Stan Steiner of Americus purchased a resident hunting license and bear tag without meeting residency requirements.
An Anchorage court also ordered Steiner to forfeit the bear hide and barred him from hunting in Alaska for two years.
What do you all think? Too light? Too heavy?
I think it sounds like a fair punishment. If it was an honest mistake, it sure does suck to be him. But if it was done intentionally, I hope this will deter him from doing it again.
