MuleyFreak in Trouble?

[mattferg84]

Apparently Erik from MuleyFreak broke some laws and lost his hunting privileges for 22 months? Anyone else have any other info or is this old news?

Sounds like what the hushin guy did in Idaho. Trespassing on private, while sponsored by OnX. Hah

Saw a picture of his charges earlier on @t_s_.d' instagram. Nice little list... back in'17.

I dont think that was it. I am almost certain he was fined for not having the archery stamp for Idaho.

As for Erik, I met him randomly in the hills...seemed like a nice guy. Would be too bad if he did get in trouble for something.

I like to think these guys are ethical and do the right thing...and then I am reminded of Kurt Darner or that Browning guy that got caught shooting animals in Yellowstone (I believe it was a Browning guy)

As stated, I believe it was a pretty minor violation of not having a bow stamp, but if it was trespassing I'd like to see where you got that info, could you share please?

Not minimizing the bow stamp violation but pretty sure it was an honest mistake that he won't make again.

That would be Don Lewis, if we are on the same wavelength.

I always thought he new crop of enlightened hunters were THE models of ethical hunters. Hmm... and so castles made of sand...

Another day, another thing to make me disappointed to live in Utah again. Why!

Apparently he is threatening anyone who posts about it with legal action for defamation. Not the right approach in my book. He depends on us hunters to support his business.
Own up to what you did, explain yourself, apologize, do something to help the hunting community/conservation is about the only shot they have to save the business. Can't shoot yourself in the foot and wreck your literal only customer base.

Would love to see a defamation case based off somebody posting online criminal charges that are public information.

Wasn’t impressed with the bino harness anyway.

Ya I recall it was the archery stamp, but at the time it happened I was hunting with some guys that knew the F&G officer. Not going into details but it most definitely put a bad taste in my mouth.

Which guy? Hushin or MuleyFreak?

Hush in 2018.

Muley Freak guy apparently did something naughty if he really did get his license suspended but I haven't seen anything about what he did.

Here is a screen shot from what T.S.D. posted.

Wow. If that is true then 22 months seems light. Like I said, he seemed like a really nice guy when I came across him so this is too bad if true.

Internet made me do it.....

 

[RaggedHunter]

There was a thread about this on monster muleys. Someone over there had more information showing this wasn't his first offence, supposedly his first time being charged was in '07. If it was in fact a repeat offence, 22 months is very light.

 

[juan trueno]

There was a document I guess the sentencing document- posted along with the list of charges which mentioned “the mitigating circumstances outweighed the aggravating circumstances” blah blah blah

 

[coloyooper]

Anybody have details on Muley Freak situation aside from the documents that have been posted online?
