Illegal Wolf Hunting in Red Lake Area

An Illinois hunter and his guide have been fined $2,500 for illegal wolf hunting in the Red Lake District.
Court heard that John Shott and Melvin Martin of Newfoundland were hunting in the Long Legged Lake area last September when they encountered a wolf.
Shott killed the wolf and brought it back to the tourist resort where Martin was employed as a guide.
When the pair learned that Shott required a small game licence and game seal, they abandoned the carcass in a remote area.
