A Kenora man has been fined $7,500 and banned from hunting for a year for shooting a moose calf while it was swimming in a lake in Wabakimi Provincial Park.
A provincial investigation determined that Jonathon Parrino was hunting in the area of Heathcote Lake on Oct. 8 2020 when he shot the moose, even though the season for hunting calf moose was closed.
It’s illegal in Ontario to shoot a game animal when it’s swimming, even if a hunter possesses a proper game seal to claim it.
Parrino pleaded guilty to the offence last month in Kenora court, a provincial news release said Friday.
Wabakimi park is located north-west of Armstrong.
Exposing the Big Game 
A calf? What a fool. There are no words. And yet if the moose population suffers, it won’t be this idiot who it blamed.
What kind of a monster does this
Good question. A sick monster.
