AK Guide Nets Criminal Charges

GALLATIN COUNTY, MT—Alaskan fishing guide Michael P. Duby, 37, is a poacher of extraordinary photography skills—especially when it comes to taking self-incriminating images featuring a blood streak of illegal elk, deer, and antelope carcasses. For his efforts, Duby has received a suspended 20-year prison sentence, as well as $15,500 in fines and restitution. But wait, there’s more! Duby’s schemes also include some shady eBay transactions of fur and feathers, and a pending federal indictment.

“An Alaskan undercover officer found photographs of Duby and two other men posing with elk, deer and antelope in an album on Duby’s charter fishing boat.

“From 2004 to 2009, Duby and the two other men killed 19 antelope and numerous other large game animals in Gallatin County without proper licenses.”

Like father, like son:

“The elder Duby [Michael W., 62, of Arizona] was sentenced to two six-month suspended jail sentences for two misdemeanor charges of unlawful possession of game animals.”
