    $4,500 Fine for Night Hunting

    NEWS May 2, 2017

    A Red Lake man has been fined $4,500 for hunting at night.
    Kenneth Burgess was found guilty at trial and fined $4,500 for unlawfully hunting at
    night. He also received a two-year hunting suspension.
    Court heard that on December 3, 2015, conservation officers were patrolling Highway
    105, south of Ear Falls, at night when they observed a vehicle illuminating the highway
    with bright lights. The vehicle slowed down multiple times for moose on the roadside.
    The officers stopped the vehicle and found an unencased high-powered rifle owned by
    Burgess. An investigation concluded that Burgess was hunting at the time.

    Justice of the Peace Edith Baas heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Red
    Lake, on October 26, 2016, and released her decision on April 26, 2017.

    The public is reminded that hunting for big game animals at night is illegal. Firearms
    must be unloaded and encased from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before
    sunrise.
