Prosecutors said Brett Stimac killed the 700-pound bear with a bow, then returned the next day to claim its head as a trophy.
A Minnesota man who beheaded a 700-pound black bear while trespassing on Native American land—and then posted photos of the carcass online—has been jailed.
According to court documents, Stimac, who is not an enrolled member of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa, wilfully, knowingly and without authorization or permission entered the reservation that evening for the purposes of hunting a bear. The following day, Stimac returned and located the bloody carcass of the bear. He posed for photographs with the carcass and later shared the images on social media.
According to the court documents, Stimac brought the bear's head to a taxidermist in Ironton and left the remainder of the carcass to rot.
