Charges include shooting a gun from a motorboat, unlawfully invalidating a tag and lying to a conservation officer.
Between 2020 and 2022, conservation officers, along with the Ministry of Natural Resources Intelligence and Investigations Services, conducted a special investigation into illegal moose hunting activities in a remote location north of Pickle Lake, near Thunder Bay.
As a result of the investigation, it was found that a man from Missisauga unlawfully fired a gun from a motorboat, at a bull moose on the Otoskwin River.
Another man invalidated his tag on an illegal moose harvested by another member of his hunt group.
Three other men were found to have made false and misleading statements to conservation officers during the investigation.
The case was heard in the Ontario Court of Justice, virtually, on Dec. 2.
