Kurt Lepping was sentenced in Alaska for past misdeeds. While on my last two safaris different operators asked me if I knew him, as Lepping had stiffed them for substantial amounts. Although from Alaska I can say I did not know the crook. In my 40+ years in the industry I have not seen as severe a sentence handed down by the govt. [IMG:left]  [/IMG] | ||

Then you are ill informed to say the least... But don't feel too bad, you are not the first person to make this mistake.

As far as I'm concerned, the guy got what he deserved. I have no sympathy for somebody acting the way he did. Good that he lost his planes & has to pay such a stiff fine.

By all rights the crooked bast'd should be in jail for the 700 days-give him time to be abused. The seized aircraft will be painted blue/yellow & white & have an insignia pasted to the vertical stabilizer. | |||

Read last paragraph: A district court judge in Alaska can ban this guy from hunting or fishing for 10 years anywhere in the U.S.? Can this be true? Since when? | |||

Most states now have agreements between them that say if you are found guilty of a hunting violation in one state and barred from hunting in that state that you will also be barred from others as well. In my opinion it is a good law as I have seen way too many non-resident hunters who think that since they are in "the wilds of Alaska" that they don't have to follow our rules and even if they get caught that they don't plan on coming back anyway.

The State of Louisiana banned one of the local asshat's from hunting worldwide a couple of years ago. | |||

I really doubt that is the case(but I don't doubt it was reported that way). I mean there is no way the can stop him from hunting overseas. Is there?

Jason I agree, they most likely have no power to inforce the ban. From what I hear they haven't even stopped him from hunting locally. Actually, outlaw game is a better word than hunting in this case. | |||

Glad to see it, this guy went to Africa with one of my customers, hunted for 3 weeks shot a bunch of stuff including a couple of buffalo and left without paying the PH anything. Jerry Huffaker State, National and World Champion Taxidermist | |||

Its a shame it happens, but there is always someone who disregards the rules and regs in almost any venue. I cant complain cause they keep me employed!!! I personally know a guy who was banned for life from hunting/fishing in Texas. I'm told next time he will do prison time and lose rights in all 50 states. As far as this sleeseball goes....I'm guessing a move to Canada is forthcoming, no offense to the Canucks, but its the logical choice. Eterry Good luck and good shooting.

I imagine the mechanism to "ban someone for life world wide" would be to sentence a guy to say, 5 years and then suspend it with conditions. Violate the conditions, even on the other side of the planet where the court has no authority, and you go to jail. DRSS "If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?" "PS.

Regarding the hunting suspension, most states are part of an interstate compact. When I suspend someones license here in Montana they are likewise suspended from hunting in the other compact states. Seems to work quite well! P.S. Here in Mt. (depending on the reason for the suspension), when their privilege is finally restored they are still prohibited for an additional FIVE years from entering any special drawing which means everything from extra turkey tags to bighorn sheep.

The real crime is if you apply for a license or permit and fail to state your convictions they throw additional charges for misrepresentation or perjury. don't get a license would get you around it but don't get caught NRA Life Member, ILL Rifle Assoc Life Member, Navy | |||

There will be another Alaskan guide going down, hopefully for good. As far as I know the trial will be in Fairbanks this month. Really don't want to post the guys name, but I'm sure it will be in the paper. | |||
