Minnesota man fined for hunting violations

A Minnesota man learned the hard way about following the rules when it comes to hunting.

The man--who is from Grand Marais--was fined a thousand dollars for firing his gun across a road when he shot a moose last year.

He was also fined another four-hundred dollars for providing a false statement to a Ministry of Natural Resources officer.

The man appeared in court on October 13th in Thunder Bay.
