Vermont Hunters Fined

Two men from Vermont have been fined a total of 1-thousand dollars for shooting a deer on private land near Kenora.

Court heard that in November of 2009, conservation officers investigated a deer that had been shot on private property and dragged onto Crown Land off Highway 596.

The following year, officers came in contact with 2-hunters in the same area.

While questioning the men, the officers learned they were involved in the 2009 incident.

Peter Flood had shot the deer and Ronald Comette helped move the animal onto Crown Land.
