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.
