Three People Fined for Illegal Hunting near Minaki

Three Michigan men have been fined more than seven thousand dollars for illegally

hunting in the Minaki area.

The Ministry of Natural Resources says technicians discovered a couple of deer carcasses
in the ditch out side of Minaki last October.

Conservation officers checked some local tourist lodges and located the men responsible.

They discovered the hunters had removed the antlers but left the rest of the animal to
rot.

Two men have been charged with abandoning a white-tailed deer and also littering.

They each have been fined over 32 hundred dollars and banned from hunting in Ontario for
three years.

A third hunter was fined 750 dollars for allowing deer meat to spoil.
