The Ontario government is cracking down on those who use unsafe and illegal hunting practices.
A Windsor man pleaded guilty to careless use of a firearm while hunting and was fined $10,000.
He also had his hunting licence suspended for five years and is required to retake the hunter education course.
The court heard that on September 28, 2022, a conservation officer responded to a hunting-related shooting incident at Griffith Island Hunt Club, a private hunting club located on Griffith Island in Georgian Bay, northeast of Wiarton, Ont.
The investigation found that while hunting pheasant from a stationary line, the man discharged his firearm, striking another member of his hunting party in the “lower extremities.”
The injured hunter was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
