Camlachie hunter fined after moose killed

A Camlachie hunter has pleaded guilty to careless use of a firearm after killing a moose in October of 2022.

Remo Iacobelli was also issued a fine for $7,000, had his hunting license suspended for two years and is now required to retake the hunter education course.

A conservation officer initiated an investigation after a moose was found killed by Shanty Road near Ear Falls.

During the investigation, it was found that Iacobelli fired several shots at a bull moose while he and the moose were on the road.

"Iacobelli failed to take reasonable consideration for people in the area and anyone that could have been travelling on the roadway," read a news release from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.

Justice of the Peace Jerry Woods heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Red Lake, on October 11, 2023.
