| Description: |
Boissevain officers observed a man
dressed in hunter orange standing beside
a truck in a field. Further
investigation revealed the man had his
truck beside a dead deer.
As officers approached the subject had
his game tag and a knife to notch the
tag, in his hands. The subject asked the
officers what the date was. He produced
a valid muzzle loader license and game
tag for the current whitetail season and
stated that he had killed the deer an
hour before. He stated that he had not
notched the tag because he did not know
the date.
The officer checked the deer for rigor
mortis and asked the hunter once again
how long the deer had been dead? He
again stated that the deer had been dead
for one hour.
The officer conducted a time of death
examination of the deer and found it to
have been dead for 2-3 hours. The hunter
then stated the deer had died around 2 ½
hours before.
The deer and the accused’s game tag were
seized and the accused, Gordon Hart,
issued an offence notice for failing to
notch his game tag immediately after
killing a big game animal. He received a
fine of $402.
Mr. Hart was charged for the same
offence at the same location in 2005.
