A waterfowling friend of mine told me that Foiles, who does a lot of waterfowl hunting videos and such, just got indited by the Federal Government on 42 counts of illegal hunting practices. Sounds like you won't be seeing him on TV anymore. Anyone hear anything about this?

‘Fallin Skies’ duck hunter gets charged with waterfowl violations

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. —

Jeff Foiles, one of the best-known professional duck hunters and callers in the United States, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Springfield on 23 counts connected to alleged illegal waterfowl hunts.

From 2003 to 2007, according to the indictment, Foiles, 53, of Pleasant Hill, Ill. sold guided waterfowl hunts where hunters regularly violated daily bag limits of ducks and geese. The hunts took place at the Fallin Skies Strait Meat Duck Club in Pike County, the indictment says.

Just popped over here to post this and was beaten to it . . . disappointing . . .

"The government also is seeking forfeiture of property used in the hunts, including 13 Benelli shotguns, two Artic Cat ATVs and duck and goose decoys."

13 Benelli shotguns potentially forfeited.. Never mind what the decoys cost. All that stuff may have come from sponsors, but I don't know how well the sponsors will like the bad press and how willing they will be to replace the stuff.

He'll lose a lot of money off of this one and he'll be lucky if he keeps his hunting license.
