Palmer Superior Court Judge Jonathan Woodman issued the order following a complaint by the Department of Law’s Consumer Protection Unit alleging that Miller defrauded consumers of more than $660,000 by taking advance payment for guided hunts that never happened.

According to the complaint, Miller promises his clients the opportunity to go hunting for moose but cancels the hunt at the very last minute and refuses to provide refunds. The complaint alleges that between 2019 and 2024, Miller collected at least $660,350 from his clients for hunting services he has not provided.

I'm not disagreeing with anything that's been stated but this is all going to come down to contract language and cancellation reasons. The fact that it is the state and not private should help.

I lived where he “operated” out of. He was ripping people off. The village he was using is one of the best moose hunting areas in the state. He was a conman.

It won’t matter what that contract says if it was all a fraud, which it certainly sounds like.
