Winnipeg Hunter Slapped With Hefty Fine

A Winnipeg man has been fined $1,500 for illegally exporting deer from northwestern Ontario.
Leonard Rivers pleaded guilty to the charge as well as providing false information to a Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officer.
Court heard that Rivers told officers he had not hunted during the fall of 2012.
However, an investigation found that Rivers obtained a non-resident deer hunting licence and harvested an antlered white-tailed deer north of Kenora.
Court heard that Rivers butchered the deer and transported the meat to Manitoba by train, even though he didn’t have a permit to do so.
