    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The 32-year-old has over two million followers on Instagram, with photos of him rock climbing, hiking, boxing and riding horseback, though his account became private Wednesday morning.

    He’s now facing 19 charges, including both territorial and federal offences, accused of killing two Yukon black bears and a grizzly.

    Court documents allege Hamm provided false or misleading information to obtain a Yukon resident hunting licence.

    Hamm is also facing charges related to exporting remains of two black bears and a grizzly outside the country this past summer.

    In a message sent to CBC News on Wednesday, Hamm said he was “deeply saddened” by the charges against him but was advised by his legal team to not discuss specifics.

    “We’re kinda lost for words,” said Bryce Bekar, president of the Yukon Fish and Game Association, when he heard about the charges against Hamm.
