The individual faces significant restrictions, including a two-year prohibition on hunting in Yukon or accompanying others on hunts.
A recent court case in Whitehorse Territorial Court has resulted in a $30,000 fine for an individual found guilty of violating the Wildlife Act.
The individual pleaded guilty to three counts of unlawfully applying for and obtaining resident hunting licenses and seals, despite being a non-resident. Additionally, they were found guilty of unlawfully killing three bears, including two black bears and a grizzly bear.
The investigation, led by Yukon Conservation Officer Services, involved collaboration with neighboring agencies and the US Fish & Wildlife Service to gather evidence.
As part of the May 1, 2025 sentence, the individual faces significant restrictions, including a two-year prohibition on hunting in Yukon or accompanying others on hunts. They will also be ineligible for specially guided or outfitted hunts in Yukon for three years and must apply for future resident hunting licenses in person.
As per a Facebook post, the Yukon Conservation Officer Services reminds the public to report any concerns about wildlife or violations of the Wildlife Act and Environment Act to the TIPP line (1-800-661-0525) or online through www.Yukon.ca/TIPP.
