FINE FOR LAST MEMBER OF A HUNTING CONSPIRACY

Recommended Posts

Some Old Guy

DRYDEN - An Ignace man, the last in a four-man hunting conspiracy, has been fined $1,000 for illegal hunting.

Donald J. Armit, 42, was convicted of unlawfully possessing and unlawfully transporting illegally killed wildlife, unlawfully attaching a bull moose validation tag to a moose killed by another person, and lying to a conservation officer. His portion of the moose was forfeited to the Crown.

The three other hunters involved in this case have already been fined for their roles in the incident.

Court heard that on December 13, 2003, a man hunting in the Parkview area, east of Hwy 599, north of Ignace, killed two bull moose when he only had a licence to hunt calves. He did not have a party hunting agreement with any other hunters at the time the moose was killed. He returned to Ignace and asked Armit and another man, who both had bull tags, to tag the moose he killed. A fourth man helped the group remove the moose from the bush. A lengthy investigation followed which included forensic firearms analysis.

Justice of the Peace Joe Morrison, of the Ontario Court of Justice, Dryden, dealt with the cases.

The ministry reminds the public that hunting regulations protect the sustainability of moose populations and give all hunters a fair opportunity to take part in the hunt. The rules for "Party Hunting for Moose" can be found on page 31 of the 2006 Hunting Regulations Summary or can be viewed at www.mnr.gov.on.ca/MNR/pubs/pubmenu.html.

Call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time to report a natural resources violation or contact your local ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Perhaps the most disturbing thing about this one is that this person is an MNR employee, Forester in Ignace.
