The area where all five <strong>of</strong> the wolves were killed on the Swift River is fifty miles from<br />

the nearest boundary <strong>of</strong> the legal hunt area, and separated by major terrain features.<br />

On 3/24/04, Haeg and Zellars flew to Soldotna with all nine wolf hides. They had a<br />

discussion about having Zellars get the six new wolves sealed in his name, and giving a false<br />

location so that they would not draw extra attention to the Swift River area. Zellars took all nine<br />

wolf hides to Anchorage, where on 3/26/04, he had the six new wolves sealed at the Fish and<br />

Game <strong>of</strong>fice. Zellars knew that the information he provided during sealing was false at the time<br />

he signed the signed the certificate. After getting the wolf hides sealed, he took all nine to Alpha<br />

Fur Dressers to have them tanned.<br />

During their interviews, both Haeg and Zellars admitted that they knew that the wolves<br />

they shot from the airplane were outside the permit area when they were shot.<br />

Both Haeg and Zellars stated that they did not know that the leg hold traps had to be<br />

pulled before March 31st, and that they never went back to the trap and snare set. Haeg stated<br />

that Tony Lee had pulled some <strong>of</strong> the animals from the set during April, and he thought that Lee<br />

was going to pull all <strong>of</strong> the traps and snares. When Gibbens asked Haeg if he thought that the<br />

snares which were left out were his responsibility, he said that he did not think so, since he<br />

thought that Tony Lee was going to take care <strong>of</strong> them. Gibbens asked him if he told Tony Lee<br />

exactly how many snares were at the site, and he said that he did not know.<br />
