Hunting Fine

A Red Lake man has been fined 35 hundred dollars and prohibited from hunting in Ontario for two years for illegally hunting deer in the Rainy River District.

Conservation officers say they heard a shot being fired last November in Patullo Township.

Two men were spotted walking out of the bush and getting into a truck.

The MNR says a buck was killed in a farmers field and then dragged to a fence near
a road.

James Rousseau was questioned by conservation officers and initially he denied
killing the deer.

But the CO's match the bullet that killed the animal to his rifle.

Rousseau has been charged with tresspassing on private property to hunt and
failing to affix a seal on the deer.
