When an Alaskan hunter ventured out into the rugged mountains and dropped his target with a single rifle shot, it seemed like the perfect crime.
The only witness lay dead on the rocky landscape.
But Donald Lee’s deception was uncovered after forensic work by a savvy online sleuth and conservation officers revealed that Lee killed a bighorn sheep in Canada – not the United States, as he had previously claimed.
A Yukon court slapped Lee with a C$8,500 (US$6,700) fine and barred him from hunting in Canada for five years after he pleaded guilty to an offence under federal wildlife protection laws.
“I am regretful for the decisions I made that day,” Lee said in court, CBC reported. “I can’t return the animal to the mountain.”
In 2017, Lee was hunting the Nation River area of Alaska, close to the Yukon border. He spotted a Fannin sheep grazing on the mountainside, less than 200 metres away.
What he didn’t realise, he later told the court, was that the animal was across the border in Canada – where he didn’t have a permit to hunt. It was only after he had bagged the sheep that the penny dropped, he alleged.
“I suppose I could have contacted someone to get in touch with the Canadian authorities somehow. Instead I made some poor decisions,” Lee wrote in a statement read to the court.
Those decisions included filling out paperwork to say the kill was in Alaska. He ate the meat from his kill and brought the carcass to a taxidermist, mounting the curly-horned ungulate on his wall.
But it was his choice to post trophy photos of the kill that was his undoing.
Images posted to a sheep hunting forum included both date and geolocation. A sharp-eyed user then sent a tip to Yukon conservation officers, who then travelled by helicopter to the remote area where Lee was believed to have shot the sheep.
The Yukon team painstakingly recreated the scene, using landmarks including distinct rocks and scraggly trees to prove Lee had committed a crime.
Lee now has one year to pay the fine and was previously ordered to turn over the stuffed head.
“I will also say that the sentence imposed today is one which should send a strong message to the public about the price,” said Noel Sinclair, the crown attorney, told reporters after Lee was sentenced. “Unethical hunters will pay when they are careless or deliberately turning a blind eye to the regulatory requirements for hunting in the Yukon.”
An Iowa City man who was trying to shoot a squirrel in his yard with an air rifle is now facing charges.
Iowa City police found a man involved in a single-car traffic accident on Highway 6 on October 17th who had been shot. Sixty-nine-year-old Philip Olson heard about the accident and turned himself in –telling police he was trying to shoot a squirrel from his home along Highway 6 with a .22 caliber air rifle.
Air rifles are not considered dangerous weapons under Iowa code — but city code prohibits shooting an air rifle, toy pistol, toy gun or slingshot within city limits — and Olson faces a code violation. He also is facing DNR charges of hunting without a license or habitat fee, unlawful attempt to take a squirrel, and shooting a rifle over a highway.
PM Boris Johnson pledged two years ago to stop the vile practice but a law has been delayed.
This sickening picture of a shot polar bear is being projected by campaigners at Glasgow’s COP26 climate summit today.
Ricky said: “We need to stop trophy hunting now.”
Boris Johnson ’s promised ban on the import of hunting trophies is STILL not law – two years after he pledged it.
The delay flies in the face of desperate pleas from celebrities, politicians and campaigners to save species like polar bears from callous hunters – as well as climate change.
TV star Ricky Gervais, writing exclusively to the Sunday People as the COP 26 climate summit starts in Glasgow today, said: “Polar bears could be wiped off the face of the earth by climate change.
“But they are also being wiped out by people who want their skins or want their heads above the fireplace.”
Ricky, 60, creator and star of comedies The Office and Extras, added: “They should do prison time.”

Downton Abbey star Peter Egan, 75, said: “Tens of millions of animals have been slaughtered for so-called sport and souvenirs. What more is needed for the Government to take this seriously?”
The photo of a hunter and shot polar bear – taken in north-west Canada and used by hunt firms to promote tours – is being projected on buildings at COP26 by anti-hunt campaigners.
And the Prime Minster is being challenged by MPs to explain why legislation has been put on hold amid fears it will be watered down.

Over 50 have signed a Commons motion calling for a ban on importing hunt trophies as soon as possible – a tribute to Sir David Amess, the MP and ardent animal right campaigner who was fatally knifed this month.
Two years ago Mr Johnson declared: “This barbaric practice must end.”
But legislation has been postponed to allow more consultations.
Details of the Animals Abroad Bill were expected before the Commons summer recess but publication has been postponed three times.
Tory MP Pauline Latham, who will lead a Commons debate this week, said: “Every month of delay with the Animals Abroad Bill is another month where hunters can kill endangered species for fun and then import their body parts into the UK as trophies.”https://www.inyourarea.co.uk/widgets/established/crime?fixedheight&webreachnews&theme=mirrorhttps://get-latest.convrse.media/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mirror.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fuk-news%2Fsick-trophy-hunter-poses-slaughtered-25338527&cre=mr-bottom&cip=1&view=web&ignoreMetaDataCheck=true&subType=news_story
Ministers are under pressure to include a loophole for hunters who make a donation to conservation – branded a “blood money” clause.
Eduardo Goncalves, founder of the Campaign Against Trophy Hunting who will give evidence to MPs this week, said: “This is beyond shocking. Since the PM first pledged a ban, 95 lion trophies have been brought home by British hunters.”
A Department for Environment spokesman said: “We will be setting out our detailed plans for action soon. Continued discussions with experts will inform this policy.”

About a dozen people die in hunting accidents every year in FranceALAMY
A motorist was critically injured after being hit by a game shooter’s bullet in the latest accident to fuel demands for curbs on hunting in France.
The man, 67, who has not been named, was driving on the dual carriageway road from Rennes to Nantes when a large-calibre rifle round went through his neck and exited the other side of the vehicle. A passenger managed to stop the car and called for help.
Police detained two members of a hunting party that was shooting wild boar near the road as ballistics experts tried to identify who fired the shot. The incident has added to widespread anger over the deaths of chasseurs and passers-by caused by negligence and reckless shooting. About a dozen people are accidentally
Autumn and its relentless rush toward the dark and chilly months will bring this week an opening day that, while no doubt embraced, used to mark the start of the most celebrated hunting season in Ohio.
That, to be sure, was before the wide-scale conversion to deer chasing that began several decades ago as the result of the increase and spread of whitetails across the landscape. Until deer became the big deal, the pursuit of humbler game fired up the yearly outbreak of hunter mania.
History, though, is history. Current pockets of enthusiasm aside, the season opening Friday for ring-necked pheasants, cottontail rabbits and bobwhite quail won’t be accompanied by pulsing fever or by a mysterious spike in sick days racked up at work and school.
The fallout from changing land use has forced the Ohio Division of Wildlife to ease up on the taking of small game.
Pheasant season, which used to be three weeks longer, runs statewide through Jan. 9 with a limit of two roosters each day.
Quail, which some years ago could be hunted statewide, may be taken in only 16 southwestern and southern counties through Nov. 28 restricted to private land with a few exceptions. The daily limit is two.
Bunnies, apparently holding their own although no longer under intense hunting pressure tunefully accompanied by the baying of beagles, may be taken statewide through Feb. 28. The daily limit is four.
That cottontails generally are maintaining a presence statewide should come as no surprise. They don’t require much special in the matter of digs, and they do breed like rabbits. On the other hand, Ohio Division of Wildlife efforts to grow snowshoe hares in an area of the northeastern snowbelt never amounted to much.Your stories live here.Fuel your hometown passion and plug into the stories that define it.Create Account
Nor have attempts to reestablish quail populations in former strongholds where the coveys were wiped out by back-to-back killing winters during the late 1970s.
While pheasants continue to reproduce in pockets that include Deer Creek Wildlife Area nearby and Williams County in the state’s northwest corner, pheasants remain scarce in most places where they once could be abundant.
The wildlife division releases pen-raised birds each year to maintain opportunity and interest.
Some 14,000 birds are scheduled for release this year across five dates and 25 hunting areas. Two releases took place recently in preparation for the special youth small game season that concludes Sunday.
Pheasant releases also are scheduled before opening day, before Nov. 13 and before Thanksgiving (Nov. 25).
The lone releases in central Ohio will occur at Delaware Wildlife area, where chances of kicking up a rooster or two might be better than at any other stocked location in the state.
A total of 1,210 pheasants is scheduled for release on the 345 huntable acres at Delaware, putting the area at or near the top in pheasants released per acre.
Parting shots
It’s official. Only a single bearded turkey may be taken during the spring season in 2022. A persistent decline in turkey numbers statewide led to the drop in the longtime limit of two birds. … A total of 24,393 deer, 14,671 of them antlerless and 9,722 antlered, were checked through last weekend during the Ohio archery season. At the same point last year the tally stood at 29,623, including 18,802 antlerless deer and 10,821 antlered.
‘Incredibly successful’ BY KAITLYN ALANIS UPDATED OCTOBER 28, 2021 5:48 PM Kelsie Wikoff, of Hume, with one of 12 bears hunted during Missouri’s inaugural bear hunting season. MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION In what Missouri wildlife officials have called an “incredibly successful first bear hunting season,” hunters killed 12 bears before it came to an end. The 12 black bears were harvested between Oct. 18 and Oct. 27, a 10-day season set as the state’s bear range expands, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation. “Bear numbers in Missouri are increasing each year by approximately 9% and are expected to double in less than 10 years,” officials said in a news release. “As bear numbers continue to increase, MDC (used) a highly regulated hunting season as an essential part of population management.” TOP VIDEOS WATCH MORE × Chiefs’ Frank Clark ‘pissed’ over low sack totals, thrown off by injuries The state limited the harvest quota to 40 bears total — equal to about 5% of the state’s current bear population — divided within three regions in southern Missouri. Only 400 people were given a permit to hunt for bears during the specified time frame, and they were randomly selected out of more than 6,330 hunters who applied. $2 for 2 months Subscribe for unlimited access to our website, app, eEdition and more CLAIM OFFER “With any new season, it is difficult to predict hunter success, so we took a conservative approach to limiting the number of hunters and length of the hunting season,” said Laura Conlee, state furbearer and black bear biologist. “This was to ensure we didn’t overharvest the bear population in any one zone.” Bear hunters were only allowed to hunt lone black bears, and they could not harass any bears or take them from their dens. Hunters were not allowed to bait the bears, and they could not use dogs as an assist. “This was an incredibly successful first bear hunting season for Missouri given that we have a highly regulated season, that bears in the state are widely distributed throughout some pretty rugged wilderness, and that many hunters had never hunted bears before,” Conlee said. “A harvest of 12 bears in our first season is testament to the hunters. Bear hunting is an extremely challenging endeavor, especially under the framework that we established. This was a new experience for many hunters, and they put in the work to be successful and take advantage of this new hunting opportunity.” Missouri’s conservation department said black bears were “historically abundant” within the state’s forested areas until they were almost eliminated in the late 1800s. Unregulated killing of the bears and logging the Ozark forests led to their near elimination.

DULUTH — The scourge of chronic wasting disease continues to creep into the Northland as the 2021 Minnesota firearms deer hunting season approaches, and many hunters will have to get used to a new normal, including having their deer tested in areas where CWD has been found.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is requiring mandatory testing of all adult deer shot over opening weekend in CWD zones as biologists try to get a handle on where and how fast the always-fatal neurological disease is spreading.
After opening weekend, voluntary submissions for deer harvested in any CWD management or control zone will be accepted at self-service stations throughout the hunting season.
“Test results show how prevalent chronic wasting disease is in certain areas, which helps us tailor our management actions to focus on areas where the disease is concentrated,” Erik Hildebrand, DNR wildlife health specialist, said in a statement. “The DNR’s aggressive, risk-based response is based on the best-available science, and hunter-provided samples are a crucial component in helping us monitor the health of our wild deer herd.”
Northland areas where CWD testing is mandatory opening weekend include:
To the south, CWD testing is required in management areas 157 and 159 south of Hinckley, and in adjacent 200-numbered units in that region, after a deer at a deer farm tested positive in the area several years ago. That CWD outbreak, while not yet confirmed in the wild, also has triggered a deer feeding ban in surrounding areas, including Carlton County.
Near Brainerd, special rules are in place and testing is required in Special Management Area 604 that stretches as far east as Aitkin. Unlike the Pine County case, wild deer have been found infected in this area, although not in the past two years.
New this year, in and around the Beltrami County deer farm where an entire herd was destroyed after multiple positive CWD tests in a bizarre case that saw the farmer dump infected carcasses on public land where CWD has now been found in the soil. The zones included in the mandatory testing requirement are 110, 169, 194 and 179 (only areas west of Highway 6, not east of Highway 6) as far east as Deer River. So far, no wild deer have been confirmed infected in that area.
The DNR will staff sampling stations during opening weekend. Self-service sampling station options also will be available for hunters who would prefer to drop off their deer heads rather than having staff take the samples at stations. Sampling stations are located across each area for testing. More details are available at dnr.state.mn.us/cwd/index.html.

Where in Minnesota will CWD surface next?
The DNR is working with a much larger group of researchers based out of Cornell University to create computer applications to estimate the risk of new CWD introductions in the state and where it would be likely to flourish when introduced.
The DNR has provided Cornell with reams of data on deer harvest and deer density estimates, CWD test results and where CWD has occurred in the past. Other states in the region, including Iowa and Wisconsin, have also contributed data from their states “so we can account for CWD risk from neighboring states also,’’ said Chris Jennelle, a DNR research scientist.
The idea is to use all of the information, along with known information about captive cervid farms in Minnesota, to create estimates of CWD risk.
“We are still in the beta testing phase of these applications, and there are some details yet to be worked out, but this technology is on the horizon,’’ Jennelle said.
CWD keeps spreading
CWD is a fatal neurological disease that affects cervids, including white-tailed deer, elk, moose, reindeer and mule deer, and it’s not likely ever to go away. The subtle, relentless, slow-moving disease has steadily worsened since its initial discovery in a mule deer herd at a Colorado research facility in the late 1960s. It’s now been identified in 23 states and three Canadian provinces.
There is no evidence that the disease can spread to humans, although it is similar to some human diseases and health experts warn against consuming venison from a CWD-positive deer.
CWD is caused by a prion, which is a misfolded protein. The prions are shed by infected deer, in urine, feces, blood and saliva — and can remain in the environment for years, maybe longer. Some CWD spread occurs at local levels by deer-to-deer or deer-to-environment-to-deer transmission. But wildlife experts say the disease’s far-flung spread in recent years almost certainly has been caused by humans moving live and dead deer that are infected, both from deer farms and moved by hunters.
Hunters who live outside a Minnesota CWD zone can still have your deer tested through the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at the University of Minnesota. But it will cost you $39, and there is currently a delay in testing due to a shortage of materials needed for testing. Go to vdl.umn.edu.

Deer spleens needed for pesticide research
Hunters in the Grand Rapids area can be part of an ongoing study on how much neonicotinoid exposure Minnesota deer are getting.
The DNR is continuing research to screen hunter-harvested deer for the presence of neonicotinoids, the most widely used class of insecticides worldwide. The sample needed for testing is the spleen. The spleen is large, flat and dark red. It’s attached to the stomach of a deer and easily found while field dressing.
Research shows neonicotinoids in white-tailed deer have caused both behavioral changes and decreased fawn survival. The DNR conducted an initial assessment in fall 2019, finding that 61% of deer tested were exposed to neonicotinoids.
If you hunt in deer permit areas 171, 172 or 179 (as well as several in the 200-numbered management areas), sign up to participate at mndnr.gov/wildlife/health/neonic.html.

Minnesota deer season by the numbers
The 2021 Minnesota firearms deer season for Northeastern Minnesota — the 100 series permit areas — runs for 16 days, Nov. 6-21.
Shooting hours each day are a half-hour before sunrise to a half-hour after sunset.
Minnesota sold about 690,000 deer hunting licenses in 2020, including firearms, muzzleloader, youth and archery. Of those, nearly 500,000 hunters are expected to be afield statewide during the firearms season.
The 594,014 firearms licenses sold in 2020 was up 7.4% from 553,277 in 2019 and the most since 2010.
Last year, all types of deer hunters registered 197,315 deer, just shy of the DNR’s annual harvest goal of 200,000.
About half the deer shot during the season are shot opening weekend. This year, that will likely be about 100,000 deer, depending on the weather. (Warmer, drier weather means hunters stay outside longer and shoot more deer.) About 70% of the harvest occurs in the first four days of the season.
Adult female white-tailed deer weigh about 145 pounds on average and males weigh about 170 pounds. The biggest white-tailed deer ever recorded in Minnesota was a 500-pound buck.
A whitetail’s home range is about 1 square mile in forested areas.
In 2020, 37.1% of all Minnesota hunters successfully harvested a deer (including archery and muzzleloader), but the success rate was only 26% for the 100-series management areas in Northeastern Minnesota during firearms season.
The average hunter spends five days afield during Minnesota’s firearms deer season.
A legal buck is a deer having at least one antler 3 inches long. Buck fawns, sometimes called button bucks or nubbin’ bucks, are not legal bucks.
Resident firearms deer licenses are $35 in 2021.
Resident hunters 84 years old and older can shoot a deer of either sex in any permit area.
A deer license purchased after the opening day of the season is valid starting the next day after it is issued, but not on the day it is issued.

The DNR reminds hunters to follow the three tenets of safe firearms handling:
Treat each firearm as if it is loaded and keep your finger off the trigger.
Always control the muzzle of the firearm.
Be sure of your target and what is beyond.
Tree-stand accidents are the leading cause of injury to hunters, so it’s always important to wear a safety harness and unload your gun before going up or down in your stand.
Hunting season questions can be fielded by the DNR Information Center at 651-296-6157 or 888-646-6367 from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturdays.
To report a violation in progress, call the Turn in Poachers line at 800-652-9093.
Ask DNR deer hunt questions during live webinar
Anyone who has deer hunting questions may register and participate in a virtual DNR deer hunting event from noon-1 p.m. Wednesday. DNR staff will be on hand during “Prepping for Firearms Deer Season” to explain changes in seasons and regulations and to field questions. Registration for the webinar is required at dnr.state.mn.us/fishwildlife/outreach. Participants are encouraged to submit questions when they register. A recording of the webinar will be posted.

Top 10 Minnesota deer season violations in 2020
As compiled by Minnesota DNR conservation officers
Failure to register
Hunting over bait
Failure to validate tag
Untagged deer
Lend and borrow tags
No license in possession
No blaze orange
Uncased/loaded firearm transportation
CWD area violations
Shooting from the road
Register your deer online, by phone or in person
Hunters who harvest deer, bear or turkey must sign into the Minnesota DNR’s electronic license system when registering a harvest at mndnr.gov/gameregistration.
Deer can also be registered by calling 888-706-6367 or in person at designated registration stations. For a list of those locations, go to dnr.state.mn.us/hunting/stations.html.
Your deer license and site tag comes as a two-part form. The upper half is the site tag for tagging the deer in the field. The lower half is the deer license and registration slip. Hunters must do the following:
Detach the site tag from the deer license/registration slip.
Before moving the deer, the hunter whose name is on the license validates the tag by using a knife or similar sharp object to cut out the notches indicating the month, date and time of day the deer was killed.
Be careful: If more than one month, date or time is cut out or marked, the tag becomes invalid.

More rules
Hunters may not take deer with the aid or use of bait.
Ensure you are using legal equipment for taking big game. Rifles must be at least .20 caliber or larger and ammunition must have a soft or expanding tip with single projectile (no buckshot).
Antlerless deer are considered any deer without an antler at least 3 inches long.
Blaze orange or pink required
All hunters and trappers in the field during an open firearms deer season must display blaze orange or blaze pink on the visible portion of the person’s cap and outer clothing above the waist, excluding sleeves and gloves. Blaze-orange or blaze-pink camouflage patterns are allowed, but must be at least 50% blaze orange or pink within each square foot.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri hunters took 12 black bears in the state’s first bear-hunting season.
The season ran from Oct. 18 to Oct. 27, with more than 6,330 hunters applying for 400 permits.
The hunters could have taken 28 more bears with the 40-bear season limit, but Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) officials call the inaugural season a success.
“This was an incredibly successful first bear hunting season for Missouri given that we have a highly regulated season, that bears in the state are widely distributed throughout some pretty rugged wilderness, and that many hunters had never hunted bears before,” MDC State Furbearer and Black Bear Biologist Laura Conlee said.
To avoid losing too many bears, the department also limited the hunt to 10 days and three designated areas called bear management zones (BMZ), which were mostly located south of Interstate 70.
Each zone had its own bear limit. Hunters were limited to one bear per permit issued.

Black bear numbers have grown over the last 50 years, after the population was nearly eliminated due to settlement, loss of habitat and unregulated hunting in the late 1800s.
Now, Missouri has around 800 bears, which primarily inhabit areas south of Interstate 44.
The population is increasing by 9% each year and is expected to double in 10 years.
MDC plans to continue using managed hunts to control the population.
