American Hunter Fined

A Minnesota man has been fined three thousand dollars for illegally hunting deer in the Kenora area.

In October of 2006, a hunter was travelling down the Worona Road with a guide they they spotted a couple of deer crossing the road.

The MNR says John Kosnitch got out of the truck and shot a buck in the middle of the road in the direction of a number of homes and cottages in the area.

Later that day he transported the deer back to Minnesota with him.

He was fined 25 hundred dollars for careless hunting and 500 dollars for transporting illegally killed wildlife.
