uncle 19 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 Selling Antlers Proves Costly Posted by BGW on Tuesday, February 1st, 2011 pm 6:40:12 PM An area man has been fined $2,100 unlawfully selling moose antlers. Clifford Wise of Eagle River was convicted under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act and charged $1,500 for unlawfully selling moose antlers and $600 for providing false information to a Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officer. Court heard that during the fall of 2008, Wise was acting as a hunting guide for a Wisconsin hunter who shot and wounded a bull moose that got away from them. Wise found the carcass two weeks later and removed and took home the antlers. He later offered to sell the antlers for $500 US. In the fall of 2009, Wise sold the antlers to a plainclothes conservation officer in Vermilion Bay. The case was heard August 12 and November 16, and the verdict handed down in the Ontario Court of Justice, Dryden, on January 25. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
