Was it you?
Fine sounds about right. It's about time people starting paying for their mistakes. This hunter had no clue he had harvested a grizzly. Read another article that stated Conservation Officer Service launched its investigation after the hunter brought the ear tags to BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations office in Powell River to enquire if the bear’s meat was edible.

You should know!
Some thoughts:
Anyone who uses fur color as the determining factor into the species of Bear is a fool when there are so many other determinant identifying factors. I tracked a G bear for a friend to kill after I had filled my tag that was creamy white with 4 brown paws. No, it wasn't a Kermode or Glacier bear.
I was in Eric Gander's taxidermy in Surrey B.C. when an FN showed up with a massive bighorn head that he wanted mounted. Eric asked to see the paperwork and checked for the inspection plug that BC wildlife officers install at the back of the horn after ensuring the Ram was a legal kill. The young man announced that he didn't need any licence, tag, paperwork or inspection because he was a FN member. Eric wouldn't mount the head without it being a legal kill so the young man left, came back a few hours later with retro-active paperwork from the government.
The fine for illegally hunting bears is set high so as to remove the profit motive from killing them. Asians will pay big bucks for bear paws to make soup out of, and gall bladders and ##### bones for their herbal medicine.

You call him a 'dickhead', I call him a patriot. People from B.C. are sick and tired of FN members ignoring any and all concept of conservation. Members of the Capilano Indian Band in North Vancouver used to steal shopping carts from the grocery store in the Park Royal mall and throw them in the Capilano river to use as fish traps, then leave them there to rust after the salmon run....but you go ahead and keep apologizing for them, OK?

Could you explain how to use colour to determine a black bear please?
Can I have some cinnamon on my Black Bear please?
And perfectly legal, so get over it.
