Bear Hunter Caught on Camera, Lies Anyway

If you like regular arrest content, be sure to check out our other channel ‪@ArrestCam‬ On April 6, 2025, Alaska Wildlife Troopers received a report that a cellular camera photographed an individual placing bear bait on a local trail 9 days before the start of the baiting season. The reporting party was able to see an ATV along with a barrel commonly used to bait bears. The next day, two troopers went out to the reported location and discovered various baits including dog food, cut up apples, honey, and more. Despite two Troopers searching the area, they were unable to locate any bear bait permits posted in the area. The Troopers set up a cellular trail camera and left the area. On April 15, the Troopers returned to the area to check on the site and found the camera showed a single white male tending to the bait site before spotting the camera and walking towards it. The next day, a second camera was placed to capture an image of the operator of the ATV. Two days later, the Trooper received a call from the reporting party and contacted the suspect. In the end, the suspect received two criminal charges, one for failing to display the permits at a bear bait site and baiting a site without proper permitting. Both charges were later amended to non-criminal violations by the court, and he was found guilty of both charges after entering a guilty plea. He was ordered to pay a total of $690.10 in costs and fines which he later paid. If you like this video and want to see more like it, Subscribe to Arrest Cam.
