Brandon R. Greeley, 28, a resident of Blue Earth, Minn., and licensed bear guide in Tofte, Minn., is “well known to DNR conservation officers in northern and southern Minnesota as a chronic poacher with previous fishing, trapping and hunting violations,” the state Department of Natural Resources said in a statement.
Greeley’s illegal activities with clients included reports of not having the proper zone license to hunt bear in a given area, illegally transferring a bear tag, failure to register a bear, and lending a bear license.”
Greeley, who was also accused of shooting two bears in 2012 without a license and using a client’s bear tag, has been convicted of several gross misdemeanor and misdemeanor charges, fined nearly $4,000, and had his hunting privileges revoked for three years, the department said.
