A Wisconsin man has been fined $28,750 for illegally killing a moose in northwestern Ontario.
The incident took place in September of 2023, when the American hunter spotted a cow moose standing on Nort Road near Pickle Lake.
An investigation showed he fired down the road with a high-powered rifle.
The investigation also showed that Larry Szura did not have a valid cow tag and subsequently travelled over 13 kilometres to his hunting partner, who was not aware Szura was out hunting, and convinced the tag holder to invalidate their tag on the unlawful harvest.
Szura immediately left the area and returned to the United States the next morning.
In addition to the fine, he’s been prohibited from hunting in Ontario for 10 years.
