Kenora Hunter Fined illegally hunting wolf

A Kenora area resident has been fined 15 hundred dollars for hunting a wolf

north of town.

The Ministry of Natural Resources says Jaques Choquette was hunting with a group in an area
off Ena Lake Road last October.

Conservation officers came across some photos of a wolf, and upon further investigation
discovered that a wolf had been shot a couple of days previous, but a tag had not been
affixed to the animal.

The wolf carcass had also been abandoned.

Choquette was fined a thousand dollars for abandoning a wolf pelt and 500 dollars for
failing to attach a game seal.

His digital camera and rifle have been seized until the fines are paid up.
