A Vermilion Bay man received a hefty fine for illegally killing a wolf.
Trevor Robinson pleaded guilty and was fined $1,000 for hunting and killing a wolf without a licence.
Court heard that in the fall of 2011, Ministry of Natural Resources’ conservation officers received information that Robinson had harvested a wolf without a licence.
An investigation revealed that in November, 2008, Robinson shot a wolf along Little Clay Road near Vermilion Bay.
Robinson was not licensed to hunt wolves and had another person attach a seal to the wolf.
Justice of the Peace Robert McNally heard the case Jan. 10 in Kenora.
