Two men from Devlin have been hit with a hefty fine following a November, 2020 hunting trip.
Court heard that conservation officers were investigating a complaint from the public regarding a deer that had been shot on private property.
It was determined that Dawson Caul had shot from the roadway, killing an antlerless deer.
Caul and Jarred Taylor entered the property to retrieve the deer.
Caul did not have a valid licence to hunt antlerless deer and neither individual had permission to hunt on the property.
Caul pleaded guilty to hunting deer without a licence and careless use of a firearm while hunting and was fined $8,500.
In addition, he had his hunting licence suspended for three years and is required to retake the hunter education course.
Taylor pleaded guilty to trespassing for the purpose of hunting and was fined $2,500 with a one-year hunting licence suspension.
