He is the first person in Nova Scotia to be found guilty of the crime after shooting Bullwinkle, a full-sized robot moose decoy used by the Natural Resources Department to help combat the poaching of mainland moose.
The animals became an endangered species in 2003.
[I think the article means that the moose is the endangered species, not the robot decoy.]
He shot the decoy near Thomson Station, N.S., on Nov. 2.
He has been banned from hunting for 20 years and must also pay a $4,025 fine, and forfeit his car and rifle.
