MAN FINED $1,200 FOR HUNTING BLACK BEAR WITHOUT PROPER LICENCE

Recommended Posts

IGNACE - An American has been fined $1,200 for hunting black bear without the appropriate licence and for illegally possessing and transporting wildlife.

Bradford Pittman, 41, of Pensacola, Florida, came to the Ignace area in August 2004 to hunt black bear through a local outfitter. He purchased a black bear hunting licence but did not have the required Black Bear Hunting Licence Validation Certificate. Non-resident hunters must complete a report of their black bear hunting activity and harvest on a form attached to the validation certificate. Pittman subsequently transported a bear he harvested to the United States where it was mounted.

In addition to the fine, Pittman also permanently forfeits a taxidermy mount of the black bear.

Justice of the Peace Daisy Hoppe heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Ignace, on July 18, 2006 and delivered the verdict on August 29, 2006.

The ministry reminds the public that laws are in place to protect the sustainability of wildlife populations. Resident black bear hunters are also required to complete a mandatory questionnaire for the Ministry of Natural Resources' Big Game Harvest Assessment Program. These requirements are outlined in the 2006 Hunting Regulations.


R.T.R. Respect the resource!
