Three hunters have been charged with fines of $37,000, following an illegal hunting bust in Manitoba.
The charges go back to 2015, when two American hunters enlisted the help of a guide from Alberta who’s licence had expired.
Discrepancies in the guide’s paperwork led conservation officers to the man, while following up on licence requirements.
