A group of Northern Ontario hunters are facing over $8000 in fines for hunting offences near Chapleau during last year's open season for moose.
Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry says nine men - four from Blind River, three from Sudbury, two from Sault Ste. Marie - were fined a total of $8390 for various offences relating to failing to meet tagging requirements while party hunting, caught by a conservation officer on an old logging road off Highway 129 near Chapleau.
