Atz Lee Kilcher, the little brother of singer/songwriter Jewel, is facing charges for illegally using a helicopter to hunt a black bear in Alaska for his family's reality TV show Alaska: The Last Frontier, aired on the Discovery Channel, Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters tells PEOPLE.

Kilcher, along with his wife Cristina and the production company, Wilma TV, each have been charged with misdemeanor unlawful methods to take game with a helicopter, Peters said. Kilcher and his wife were not arrested, she added, they were charged and given a summons to appear in court.

The charges, filed on July 14 in Homer court, stem from a hunt that occurred "on or about" Sept. 19, 2014 near Homer, she said. Sources told the Alaska Dispatch News that no one involved in the hunt or in the production crew contacted troopers ahead of time to notify them of the hunt.

    what would you expect from a tv show? at least that show was filmed in the wild, not on a fenced game farm(aka canned hunt). mr myopic.

    It seems these shows often get themselves jammed up. I enjoyed The Last Frontier. Eivin's wife, Eve is smoking hot. [:D] Atz Lee nearly got himself killed last season in a fall. I have picked up that their "homestead" is not nearly as remote as the show would lead one to believe. In typical fashion it would seem it is scripted.

    " I have picked up that their "homestead" is not nearly as remote as the show would lead one to believe."

    You can find it on Google maps. Closest neighbor is less than 1/2 mile. Maintained public road to their "homestead"(not surprisingly Kilcher Road). Less than 30 miles to town. Film crews sure are handy about editing and/or not catching "unwanted" backgrounds.

    They are on the road side of the bay, the road goes to Ketchemak Sea Low, a Russian village, they are just beyond that. My cabin is across the bay north of Bear Cove. We hunted ducks on the flats where their cattle roamed for many years. They are off the beaten path but by no measure way out in the wild.

    Marty is his name. I also like Tom Oar and his wife Nancy. That is my favorite show and the only thing I ever really watch. You can tell Tom and Nancy live close by a town as the road is paved near them. Marty is just a real downright, redneck Trapper with a huge set of Balls!!!!!!!! It might be mostly fake, but I wouldn't do half the chit he does. I would only run a trap line out there with at least two other people and a cell phone connection or two way. I think I would be scared even with other people back there. Oakie
