In 2007, Michael Malik Sr., a multimillionaire Michigan developer, paid $135,000 for a year-round permit to hunt elk anywhere in Arizona. He wounded a large bull elk near a housing tract, leading to a controversial situation where residents were horrified by the spectacle. Malik was cited for shooting unlawfully within a quarter-mile of an occupied residence, convicted, and sentenced to community service. The Game and Fish Commission fined him nearly $15,000 and banned him from hunting in Arizona and 32 other states for five years.
