A hunting and fishing guide from eastern Idaho has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for running his business without a license and giving false testimony in a bankruptcy case.

A federal judge Wednesday also barred 46-year-old Sidney Davis of Soda Springs from hunting, fishing and guiding clients anywhere in the world for three years after his release from prison.

Davis pleaded guilty in May to guiding an illegal mule deer hunt in October 2008 and arranging to have the meat shipped across state lines. As part of the plea deal, Davis also admitted to falsely omitting information in his 2005 bankruptcy case.

Davis had operated Trail Creek Lodge near Soda Springs since 1993, but his outfitting and guiding license was revoked in 1996 by state officials.
