THUNDER BAY — A Justice of the Peace in Thunder Bay has fined a Sault Ste. Marie man a total of $5,500 after finding him guilty of hunting offences.
According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, the case involves an incident in October 2023 in the Esker Lake Road area, north of Terrace Bay.
The court heard that conservation officers observed Fred McLeod actively hunting for moose.
When they asked for his licence, he claimed to be hunting under Indigenous harvesting rights, but was unable to provide documentation.
The officers also learned that his federal firearms licence had been revoked.
The man was contacted three times over three months but failed to prove that he had Indigenous harvesting rights.
McLeod was found guilty of hunting moose without a licence and hunting with a firearm without possessing the required documentation.

CEDAR PARK, Texas (Gray News) – A Texas high school student is accused of killing another high schooler’s goat by force-feeding it pesticide. She allegedly told police she did so because the goat’s keeper “is a cheater.”
Aubrey Vanlandingham, a 17-year-old student at Vista Ridge High School, is charged with cruelty to livestock animals after she allegedly killed another teenager’s goat. Both Vanlandingham and the goat’s keeper were part of the Future Farmers of America organization, according to KXAN.
The alleged incident happened Oct. 23 at the high school’s barn in Cedar Park, Texas, where police say security video shows a student giving a toxic pesticide to a goat named Willie. The goat died about 21 hours later after experiencing symptoms including convulsions and respiratory distress, KEYE reports.
An affidavit filed by a Wiliamson County detective in November states that the goat’s cause of death was confirmed to be intoxication from a kind of pesticide known as phosmet, according to The New York Times.
Vanlandingham originally denied responsibility for the goat’s death but later confessed to having fed it pesticide, the affidavit said. She allegedly told the detective the goat’s keeper “is a cheater,” and she “doesn’t like cheaters.”
The affidavit also said the 17-year-old’s phone records showed she had searched multiple pesticides and phrases such as “can straight bleach kill goats,” “how much bleach kills a goat,” and “how to clear search history,” as reported by The New York Times.
Police say Vanlandingham admitted this was her second attempt to poison the goat, KEYE reports.
Vanlandingham was arrested Nov. 22 and later posted a $5,000 bond. She is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 15.
Cruelty to livestock animals is a felony and carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison and a $10,000 penalty, according to The New York Times.
