WASHINGTON – A federal grand jury in Springfield, Ill., returned a 23-count felony indictment today charging Jeffrey B. Foiles with conspiracy, wildlife trafficking, and making false writings in connection with the illegal sale of guided waterfowl hunts, the Department of Justice announced Thursday.
The indictment charges Foiles, 53, of Pleasant Hill, Ill., with conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act and the federal false writings statute, 12 substantive violations of the Lacey Act, and ten counts of making false writings in a matter within the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The Lacey Act is a federal law that makes it illegal to knowingly transport or sell wildlife taken in violation of federal law or regulation. The act defines the sale of wildlife to include the sale of guiding services for the illegal taking of wildlife.

The indictment alleges that from 2003 to 2007, Foiles conspired with others to knowingly transport and sell ducks and geese that had been hunted and killed in violation of federal laws protecting migratory birds. In particular, Foiles is alleged to have sold guided waterfowl hunts at the Fallin’ Skies Strait Meat Duck Club in Pike County, Ill., for the purpose of illegally hunting and killing ducks and geese in excess of hunters’ individual daily bag limits. Foiles and his associates are also alleged to have falsified hunting records at the club in order to conceal the excesses, and to have filmed the illegal hunts for inclusion in commercial hunting videos.

An indictment is merely an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

The maximum penalty for a felony violation of the Lacey Act or the federal false writing statute includes up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and the government of Canada. The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of Illinois and the Justice Department’s Environmental Crimes Section.

Unfortunately his Straight Meat slogan will probably also be popular in prison.   :chuckle:

I read somewhere on the Refuge that he would go to parks and call in the geese and shoot them with pellet guns if they had neck collars.

But hey he is the King of Bling!

Yeah his videos were super cool, but the question now was it worth it? I say no F-ing way. I heard that undercovers were going on hunts and could not believe how much overlimiting they were doing. The camera man even shut the camera off cause he could not support what they were doing. what does that say? :bdid:

It's #24 on page 10 of the indictment.

Here's the link to the indictment:   http://www.nodakoutdoors.com/media/Indictment.pdf

Some of his forfeiture stuff is 2 atv's, duck and goose decoys and 13 benelli shotgun's pg.24&25

If for nothing else, he should have been indicted just for owning 13 Benelli's. What a moron! :chuckle:

 I take it that this guy had a hunting show or something? I've never heard of the dirtbag and now that I've read the above posts it sounds like I missed nothing. (I seldom watch hunting shows on TV any more.)
