SHOOTING AT FAKE MOOSE COSTS $6,000

Recommended Posts

Some Old Guy

Two southern Ontario hunters, who shot at a bull moose decoy, have been fined $3,000 each.

The two men plead guilty under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act to shooting from a motor boat and hunting a bull moose without a validation tag. They are banned from hunting for a year and their weapons, boat and motor have been seized until the fines are paid.

On October 14, 2007, conservation officers from the Ministry of Natural Resources Red Lake District saw the two men shooting at a bull moose decoy from their boat on Longlegged Lake, 40 kilometres southwest of Red Lake. When the officers caught the men they found they only had calf moose tags. The men claimed to be part of a hunting party which had several bull moose tags, but they had no way to communicate with the other party members and they’d also exceeded the maximum distance allowed for party hunting.

The case was heard in Ontario Court of Justice, Red Lake on February 13, 2008.


R.T.R. Respect the resource!
