An Alaskan Master Guide Sentenced For Big Game Guiding Offense

Master Guide Joe Norbert Hendricks, 76, of Anchorage, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Ralph R. Beistline in Fairbanks, on charges that he committed unlawful acts in the course of his commercial big-game guiding enterprise Fair Chase Hunts in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge between 2007 and 2009.  The charges Hendricks admitted to and to which he pleaded guilty included wanton waste of an entire caribou he had killed, two instances in which the horns of Dall sheep taken by his clients were altered by hammering the horns with a rock to obscure the fact that the horns were less than the legal minimum size, and 13 counts of subletting his assigned guide use area in ANWR to another guide, for compensation.
There were 16 offenses in all.
