Hunter Fined for Shooting At Moose

A Slate Falls First Nations man has been slapped with a 35-hundred dollar fine for careless discharge of a firearm and unlawful possession of wildlife.

Court heard that a conservation officer responded to complaints of unsafe hunting last January.
The man was hunting on Vermillion River Road, a well-used forest access road north of Sioux Lookout.

An investigation found that Charles Vincent Jr. fired three shots down the middle of the road at a cow moose.
