Regardless of whether he saw the collar, the PH was arrested for not having a permit and no quota. The hunt was illegal.
Also, Dr. Palmer has been previously convicted of illegal hunting. Killed a black bear and then falsified where he killed it.
I'm not against these hunts. I am against dirtbags that give hunters a bad name. And this guy is starting to look like a dirtbag. Why did he try to say the bear was killed somewhere else? Why didn't he check to make sure the PH and farmer had all the necessary permits? What about that quota: could he have determined if there was a quota in that area?
Too many questions right now, but the fact that this guy has had issues in the past puts me off.
