A Fall Creek man will pay a $2,443 fine for killing a bear in the town of Bridge Creek during last fall’s gun deer season.
Michael C. Mackey, 29, pleaded guilty in Eau Claire County Court to a misdemeanor count of killing a bear without a license.
Judge Michael Schumacher also revoked Mackey’s DNR license privileges for three years.
According to the criminal complaint:
A confidential informant told authorities a bear was killed Nov. 24 during a deer drive.
A second informant contacted authorities and said Mackey shot a bear and hid the carcass in the woods.
During a Nov. 29 interview, Mackey admitted to a warden that he shot a bear. He said he shot the animal in the town of Bridge Creek because it charged up a steep hill directly at him.
The warden, with Mackey’s help, retrieved the bear’s carcass from the woods.
After examining the carcass, the warden determined the bear wasn’t shot while charging Mackey. The bear was moving away from Mackey when it was shot.
