...his past record of game violations ...
Is there a link to something credible about his past game violations?
I don't know that anything from the press is credible.
But this is out there on him about a 2006 bear hunting violation. Not sure it's a felony like they mention. Who knows?

Palmer had a permit to hunt bears within a certain area near Phillips, in the north of the state. But on September 1, 2006, he was part of a group of people who killed a black bear 40 miles outside this permitted zone, according to the court documents from April 2008.
Realizing what they had done, the group agreed that "if any authorities were to ask where the bear had been killed, they would say" it was hunted within the correct area, the documents added.
