Two local men have been penalized for breaking the rules while hunting in northeastern Ontario.
According to a news release issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources on the provincial government’s website, both were recently convicted in court.
Spencer Palmer of Stevensville and Logan Bauer of Fort Erie each pleaded guilty to unlawfully discharging a firearm from a motorboat and possessing illegally killed wildlife. Each individual was fined $3,700 and received a one-year hunting licence suspension for all species.
The court heard that on October 9, 2023, conservation officers were conducting aerial moose hunting enforcement patrols and found Palmer and Bauer in possession of a bull moose. The investigation revealed the bull moose had been shot from a motorboat by Palmer while Bauer operated the motorboat. The bull moose was subsequently seized by the officers.
The incident occurred near Cochrane, Ontario, according to the news release.
