We all complained about the fines being too low. Well someone is listening, MNR raise fines

This includes:

Fishing without a license - $200, up from $100
Failing to wear proper hunting clothing - $300, up from $100
Unlawfully firing a gun across a roadway - $500, up from $250
The province also created 251 new fines under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, some running as much as $700.

Also among the new offences is $600 for tourism operators who don't file proper paperwork, $600 for unlawfully shooting a bear cub or sow, $500 for hunting a predominantly white moose and between $250 and $500 for hunting outside of the designated season.

Check these out, new fines in effect
