The heavy fine was handed out after an incident in the Pakashkan Lake area that occurred in 2023.
THUNDER BAY — A city man has received a stiff penalty after pleading guilty to illegal hunting and lying to a conservation officer.
Court was told a conservation officer conducting enforcement operations at the time found that a man who'd shot a moose just before the end of legal hunting hours had been unable to locate the animal. Rather than reporting the mistake to a CO, he sought out another hunter and had him invalidate his own bull moose tag on the dead animal to conceal the illegal harvest.
Further investigation revealed that he and the other hunter had not been party hunting in accordance with regulations.
