Moose Hunting

A Winnipeg resident has been fined 25 hundred dollars for illegally hunting moose in northwestern Ontario.

The Ministry of Natural Resources say they spotted Barry Arnason travellingon a lake about 180 kilometers north of Red Lake during aerial surveillance last October.

He had a moose call, a moose lure, a high powered rifle and ammunition.

Conservation officers discovered that while the hunter had a valid licence to hunt moose in Manitoba, he didn't have one to hunt on the Ontario portion of Sparrowhawk Lake.

His firearm has been seized and he has been banned from hunting in Ontario for two years.
