Bear hunting incident
In 2015, Atz Lee, his wife Jane, and a company involved in the production of the show were charged with using a helicopter as part of bear hunt while filming an episode in 2014. Using any aircraft to spot prey, or using a helicopter in any way as part of a hunt is illegal in Alaska. All three pleaded not guilty. The matter was on hold due to Atz Lee being seriously injured in a hiking accident. but eventually the charges against the Kilchers themselves were dismissed, while production company Wilma TV was fined $17,500.
