Colorado Man Fined for Shooting a Black Bear

A Colorado man has been fined $2,500 for shooting a black bear without a valid licence near Fort Frances.
Levi Larsen is banned from hunting in Ontario for a year after he was fined for unlawfully hunting a black bear, possessing a void licence and exporting the bear out of Ontario without a permit.
Court heard that Larsen tried to purchase a non-resident hunting licence on a number of occasions, but was denied by the Ministry of Natural Resources.
However, Larsen persisted and purchased a licence in another location and went on to shoot a bear.
