Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted January 24, 2007 ATIKOKAN - A Thunder Bay man has been fined $500 for illegal deer hunting. Gerald P. Gouliquer, 69, pleaded guilty to hunting white-tailed deer during the closed season. He forfeited the deer to the Crown. Court was told that on October 27, 2006, the OPP called a Ministry of Natural Resources Fort Frances District conservation officer to assist with an incident west of Fort Frances and north of Pinewood. The conservation officer determined that Gouliquer had used a rifle to shoot and kill an antlerless white-tailed deer two days before the rifle season opened, and while the archery season was still in progress. Justice of the Peace Pat Clysdale-Cornell heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Atikokan, on January 11, 2007. The ministry reminds the public that hunting regulations and seasons ensure the sustainability of wildlife populations and give hunters a fair chance to participate.
