Jim Branson, Fish and Wild
life Service enforcement agent
for the Kodiak-Afognak area.
Ira Shepheigg^ .George'
Knight arid Peter'Unger were
literally “caught inv/jfte act”
by Branson and Paul Chapa
dos, Fish and Wildlife Service
game agent.
Tbe three hunters sl^ot two
eows and one spike bull on the
morning of January 22. One
of the cows was carrying a
calf
The arrests were made
around 2 pm on Jan 22, after
Chapados and Branson went
ashore from the Shearwater.
FWS patrol vessel, to investi- j
gate what appeared to be an
abandoned skiff on the beach
at Muskomee Bay in Rasp
berry Straits. Paul Foster is
the skipper of the Shearwater.
As the two FWS men ap
proached the shore they saw
Peter Unger coming out of!
the woods toward the beach.,
When he observed the FWS
men and vessel he immediately
boarded the skiff, started the
motor and took off for other
parts. He was not found until I
three days later atDal Valley’s'
saw mill. |
Branson followed the tracks
Unger had made on coming
out of the woods. He came
on Shepherd in the act of
dressing out an elk cow. j
Chapados had followed a
set of tracks going into the
woods. The three hunters had
walked in each other’s tracks
when they went to shoot.
The Shearwater was on a
routine patrol at the time to
make a survey of the elk herd
on AiognaK. j
Unger's haste to leave the
scene greatly increased the
FWS men’s suspicions. The
hunters used a 300 magnum
and a 357 to kill the three
animals. The guns were con
fiscated by the government
After finding Shepherd
dressing out his kill, Branson
and Chapados located Knight.
The.men then dressed out the
elk. .and went to a cannery to
borrow some sheets of tin on
which to drag the meat to the
beach.
. After loading the meat
aboard the Shearwater the
FWS men spent considerable
time in locating Unger.
The elk meat was finally
delivered to the Kodiak Bap
tist Mission here.
Fast action by the volunteer
fire department Saturday
afternoon saved Kodiak from
a serious fire. The wood sup
ports for several oil drums and
a big 500 gallon tank at the
rear of the Town Club and
Galley caught fire and were
burning rapidly when the
firemen arrived at 2:24 pm.
High winds could easily
have swept the fire to the
Town Club and Galley if the
fire had burned much longer.
When the fire truck arrived
the oil drums were smoking.
It was not determined how the
wood supports caught fire.
