CHARGES LAID DURING OPENING WEEKEND OF MOOSE HUNTING SEASON

Recommended Posts

Some Old Guy

Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officers laid 40 charges against hunters and anglers during the first three days of the moose-hunting season in the Thunder Bay area.

From October 11 to 13, six conservation officers, including the canine unit and two deputies, checked 314 hunters in Wildlife Management Unit 15B, in the Highway 811 area about 150 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay. In addition to the charges, the officers also issued 30 warnings and seized a variety of items including firearms. They arrested a man for possession of a variety of narcotics and turned him over to the Ontario Provincial Police.

Some of the charges and warnings were as follows:

12 charges and 10 warnings for failing to wear a proper helmet for an off-road vehicle

Nine warnings for failing to attach a validation tag to a game seal prior to the hunt

Eight charges of illegally having a loaded firearm in a vehicle

Five charges and one warning relating to hunting without possessing all necessary components of a licence

Three charges and one warning for having an unencased firearm after dark

Three charges of possessing an over limit of fish

Two charges of discharging a firearm from a roadway

Two charges of having alcohol in a vehicle

Two charges of abandoning bear meat suitable for food

One charge of failing to stop for a Conservation Officer

One charge of non-resident camping on Crown land without a permit

One charge of possessing another person’s seal while hunting.

Officers also seized a white-tailed deer head that had been illegally imported into Ontario from Manitoba. Due to concerns about introducing Chronic Wasting Disease into the province, it is against the law to import deer or elk into Ontario unless special precautions are taken.


R.T.R. Respect the resource!
