illegal moose hunt has four people facing major fines and hunting license suspensions

An illegal moose hunt has four men from the region facing major fines and the suspension of their hunting licenses after a nearly two year investigation. Natural Resources and Forestry officials say two men from Timmins, one from Hearst and another from Kapuskasing shot a bull moose by mistake and hid it from conservation officers. The four men are facing 17 thousand, 500 dollars in fines and seven years in hunting suspensions. A fifth person involved in the incident is scheduled to appear in court at a later date. MNRF officials remind you that abandoning a shot moose is illegal but in the event the wrong animal is shot, contact conservation officers immediately.
