Michel Quirion was pulled over by conservation officers east of Fort Frances last November after they noticed some damage to his passenger side door.
Quiron says he accidentally fired a shot inside his truck while deer hunting near Sioux Narrows.
He told conservation officers that he loaded the gun inside his truck because he didn't want to spook a deer he had seen on the road.
But he slipped while getting out of the truck and accidentally discharged the rifle.
The shot put a hole through the door, shattered the window and deployed the airbags.
