A Pennsylvania hunter must pay 2-thousand dollars in fines after attempting to cover up his illegal deer kill.
Court heard that on November 8th 2009, conservation officers cam across Edward Krakowski on the Mabrun Road south of Kenora, and found blood on him and his hunting equipment.
Krakoswski told officers that he did not shoot a deer, but had helped another hunter to field dress one.
Upon investigation, officers found footprints from the area where the vehicle was parked to a freshly harvested buck, untagged and covered in brush.
Krakowski was fined a thousand dollars for making false statements to a Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officer and another thousand for failing to attach a valid hunting game seal to his harvested deer.
He is banned from hunting in Ontario for one year.
