Bear hunt violations net $64,000 in fines for 5 Ontario outfitters

Five tourist outfitters in northwestern Ontario have been ordered to pay a total of $64,000 in fines for violations related to black bear hunting.

The convictions stem from a scheme where one lodge unlawfully sold hunting validations to others, who then conducted illegal hunts for non-resident clients.
