Alaska Wildlife Troopers cited a 51-year-old Ninilchik man for several big-game hunting violations. Troopers alleged the man took a sublegal bull in September, transported the meat and antlers to his home, and failed to have the antlers sealed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game or Wildlife Troopers within 10 days. Troopers said the man also falsely claimed 50 years of Alaska residency when he purchased an out-of-state resident license within 12 months of the Alaska license application.
