Not really, from what I have seen of COs and game law enforcement in places like Michigan these folks would have been fined a whole lot more money and probably lucky if they did not get locked up.Quote:

Even then,they usually get ROR'd and disappear,again. We need to start locking them up and leaving them there until their cases are heard just like US states.
Wonder why the fines are all different some for the same things lol. Others guilty to multiple and its comparable.
Also think some of the fines could of been more.

What did they do with all that moose meat ? Local food bank ?
That would be the commonsense thing to do. However, look who's in charge. Commonsense isn't very common! lolQuote:

If they got to seize any of this moose meat would go to the local first nations or the co's freezer.
I couldn’t agree with you more.”Most”FN freezer’s are full in N. Ont with game meat.Quote:

I see that the outfitters lost their moose tags and Bear Management Areas. That’s going to hurt.
Although I m not condoning the offences, I just wanted to point out that although hunting from a power boat is illegal in Ontario, it’s an acceptable practice in the Yukon (as long as the animal isn’t swimming) and other possibly other places.
The judge effectively shuttered their business and took their livelihood (rightfully so IMO). In that respect, I think their punishment was suitably quite severe. They should never be allowed to guide or outfit again. Both the sentence and the consequent reputation destruction should serve to ensure that .
