Nestor Falls fine

A Nestor Falls campowner is facing a hefty fine for illegal deer hunting activity.

Dean Roy is the owner and operator of Meline's Lodge and Guide Service and was fined six thousand dollars for hunting out of season and lying to a conservation officer.

The charges date back to November of 2008, when Roy acted as a guide for three non-resident hunters in a closed season for deer.

One of the deer killed by the hunters was stored at the resort, but when asked about the hunt the next day by the MNR, he denied any knowlege of it.

Conservation officers located the hidden deer and charged Roy with two offenses under the Fish and Wildlife Act.
