That on or about May 1, 2004 through May 4, 2004, at or near McGrath in the Fourth
Judicial District, State of Alaska, David Haeg, did negligently fail to salvage the hide of a wolf
taken in a snare he had set.
All of which is a Class A Misdemeanor offense being contrary to and in violation of 5
AAC 92.220(a)(1) and against the peace and dignity of the State of Alaska.
David S. Haeg was interviewed in Anchorage on 6/11/04, and Tony R. Zellars was
interviewed in Anchorage on 6/23/04. During the interviews, the timelines and events given were
almost exactly identical, and a summary of the statements of the two men follows:
The two men applied for and were issued a permit to hunt wolves with the use of an
airplane in a specific area near McGrath. Zellars bought a new Binelli twelve gauge shotgun, and
a large amount of several kinds of buckshot ammunition.
On 3/5/04, the two men flew in N4011M (Bat Cub) to McGrath where they were issued
permits at the Fish and game office, during which they were given maps and written descriptions
of the legal hunting area. After leaving McGrath, the two flew upstream along the Big River.
Several wolves were located about one or two miles outside the hunt area, and they shot one gray
wolf, with Zellars doing the, shooting with the shotgun from the air while Haeg was flying the
plane. The wolf was hauled back to trophy Lake Lodge whole and was skinned that night.
On 3/6/04, they flew to the Big River where they had shot the wolf the day before. They
could not locate the remaining wolves, so they proceeded upstream on the Big River (further
outside the legal area). Twenty-four miles upstream from the hunt area boundary on the Big
River, they spotted two gray wolves on a ridge near a moose kill. Both wolves were shot from
the air with a shotgun by Zellars with Haeg again flying the plane. One of the wolves then had to
be shot from the ground with the .223 by Zellars. The two wolves were hauled back to the lodge,
and were skinned that night.
On 3/6/04, Haeg called on his satellite phone and reported to McGrath Fish and Game
that he and Zellars had harvested three wolves within the permitted hunt area on the Big river, at
which time he gave false coordinates for the kill sites.
