He was also told he could not apply for a big-game licence, game bird or trapping licence for a year.
Several weeks later, Niessner used the services of an outfitter to hunt white-tailed deer in the Spiritwood area.
The outfitter told conservation officers that Niessner had been a client of his for a week at the beginning of December 2016.
