Weedy1 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I hope this guy is completely broke now. I wonder if they plan on nailing the American hunters also. From http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto...al_gam_mostview Man fined $175,000 for leading big game hunts out of season The Canadian Press March 7, 2008 at 6:13 AM EST MEADOW LAKE, SASK. — An Ontario man, who runs a guiding and outfitting operation, has received a $175,000 fine for operating without a license and hunting out of season in Saskatchewan. It's believed to be the largest fine for such a violation in the province. Wildlife officials say that Jeffrey R. Wolfe of Tillsonburg, Ont., was convicted in provincial court in Meadow Lake, Sask. A three-month investigation in 2005 confirmed that Mr. Wolfe was guiding American hunters on off-season hunts for moose, bear, white-tailed deer and elk near Meadow Lake in northern Saskatchewan. Nancy Heppner, Saskatchewan's environment minister, says illegal hunting and outfitting robs the people of the province of its natural resources. She calls the penalty “significant” and says she's confident it will send the message that the province's wildlife is valued and will be protected.

Castuserraticus Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 They should go after the clients also as they should have some knowledge of the regulations where they're hunting at. Ignorance is not an excuse. That might put a bigger chill into the illegal side of the industry than nailing one guide. Someone else is always ready to step in.
