So first question is how many years doing this?

All this false celebrity worship commonplace in our society. You'll find plenty of people you know personally  ate much better role models ( hint your parents, friends,  coaches) than the hunting society Kardashians


Hold up.

Wait a minute.

Just clarification, not defending by any means. He got caught for trespassing, but still hunted in season with the proper tags? I only got through one article so far.

Sounds like an innocent misunderstanding then

You can still continue to purchase his poaching videos :tup:

He also pled guilty Sep. 2nd for unlawfully obtaining a Montana resident license.

Am sure an purely innocent misunderstanding of MT regs. The fans can keep buying his wares :tup:

What he did was wrong and it was for greed/fame.  He got the attention he wanted with these animals and now he's getting the attention he deserves for the offenses.  I think most feel deceived and that's where a lot of the emotion comes from.  To put it in reality, it sounds like he lied on his hunting application to save some money on non-resident fees and went on someone else's land without permission.  I'm certain at least half of you have done the latter.  Nobody was hurt, raped, or harmed.  It's simple once you get past your emotions.
Really?
I believe you are an attorney
One has has to swear out residency when applying for a tag. Are you supporting lying on an affidavit as an attorney?  WTF?

Sounds like we shouLd  should give tv hosts who lie and trespass ( poach) a second chance then. 

OMG  counselor. :bash: I guess ethics have no place in today's modern hunting culture.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the topic says "POACHING". Unless it was shot at night or closed season it is a hunting violation. I read the articles and don't see poaching mentioned anywhere. I would think he would be more of a low life if it was truly poaching.
sentenced Wednesday for hunting violations which occurred on private property in the Crazy Mountains east of Clyde Park from 2010 to 2014.
Most if not all poachers who got busted say they were poachers.
:twocents:

Thank you

The number of unethical hunters justifying his actions is is really sad.

No sense in holding it against him ....Everyone deserves forgiveness !!!  Very unfortunate for Matt but I know we have a lot of perfect hunters on here but I am sure there are a few who are not so perfect ...Including me !!!!  Just the way it goes sometimes when you are put in the pot !
I heard English was not matts first language so he he had a difficult time understanding M T regs. I understand his mistake now. Plus he could not read the " no trespassing signs"  in English in Montana. I fore give him. .

Thinking next year 2016 me and my buddies will film our elk hunts in YNP of trophy elk in end of AUG Rut with rifles.  Well call our show " super star state of mind" well pay European and Asain tourists to film our hunts.


As a bonus hunt  well   shoot a few trophy  bison too off the road

Pre order for $29.99  and buy my signature elk/ trophy bison Nikon trophy scope for $ 1149.50 and my signature trophy scent blocker butt out YNP hunting  green national park service camo u iforms clothes for $510

Pm me your checks

Thanks and JC forgives me :tup:

A couple comments:

I don't have a television, so I don't watch these hunting shows often.  I see them at friend's homes from time to time and find most of them pretty pathetic. 

I have no idea whether I have ever seen this particular show or not. 
It is disturbing to me to see how many people who post here are defending this guy's actions.

Nice try. I don't defend him and I will not promote him. Take your pompous response somewhere else. I'll bet at least 60% of the hunt wa community has done something in their hunting career that was questionable or unethical. I hope they stick it to him just as they would anyone else. To sit back on your keyboard and act as if you're Gods gift to the world on this, it's sad, but not the end of the world. Let's keep perspective people. Look at that Cambodian guy that was trafficking wild meat last year. I didn't see this same outcry from our community on that one. It's only because he had a name that any of you are even jumping on this. Disappointing, yes. End of the world, not a chance. Home dude will  be burned for so long id be surprised to see his face again.

I may be late to the party here but I don't care how famous you are or how much you think Jesus loves you.  If you poach you should not be allowed to hunt. There are too many hard working hunters out there that play by the rules, and don't expect special treatment. Ill never defend a poacher.

So because Matt poaches and lies and commits fraud on hunting applications multiple time times all hunters MUST do the same? HE LIED on his MT residency  DUDE !


I hunt by the crazy mountains in Montana and have had monster bucks just over the fence line on property I cannot hunt. I of course passed.  I do not have a hunting show and did not poach and trespass and lie on hunting applications.

You can keep worshipping a poacher I choose not too in fact I never worshipped or looked up to his type of antler whore.

Pretty sure I've never mentioned 'worshipping' or promoting the dude as you claim. What i am saying is I bet most guys have committed a crime whether(?) they knew it or not. Pretty sure home dude knew he was skirting the rules and deserves the following punishment. I'm glad mt dealt with it the way they did. Id like to
See wa be as determined to deter people from commiting wildlife crimes as mt appears to be. And I never claimed everyone does the same. But I bet everyone has done something that could be called out too. I think the only reaso. For the the out cry is that he was a visible spokesman for the idea(hunting) that we all Support and enjoy doing.

Read thelast 2 sentences At half the hunters on hunt WA have done the same.


plus this guy: 

 I'll bet at least 60% of the hunt wa community has done something in their hunting career that was questionable or unethical.




No big deal
