Released on November 21, 2019
A Loon Lake man recently pleaded guilty to two counts of trafficking under The Wildlife Act and received a total of $6,300 in fines in Loon Lake provincial court.
The ministry’s Special Investigations unit became involved and purchased five sets of moose antlers and four sets of white-tailed deer antlers from the man in late 2017. In addition, 10 sets of white-tailed deer antlers and two sets of elk antlers were purchased in October 2018 from the same individual.
The investigation came to an end in September 2019 when charges were laid against Richard Weeseekase, aged 36, for trafficking in wildlife.
Weeseekase received fines of $2,800 for the first charge and $3,500 for the second charge.
Along with the fines, Weeseekase also received a five-year hunting suspension.
In Saskatchewan, it is illegal to sell, advertise for sale, barter or trade any fish or wild game meat that was taken under a sport licence, Treaty Right or Aboriginal Right. This constitutes trafficking in fish or wildlife, and is prohibited under Saskatchewan laws.
A Sale of Wildlife Permit is required to sell most animal parts. However, big game antlers that have been separated from the skull can be sold without a permit, but only if the animal was taken with a valid hunting licence and the tag accompanies the antlers. Shed antlers can be sold without a permit.
If you suspect wildlife, fisheries, forestry or environmental violations, please call your local Ministry of Environment office, Saskatchewan’s toll-free Turn in Poachers and Polluters (TIPP) line at 1-800-667-7561 or #5555 for SaskTel cellular subscribers. Violations can also be reported online at www.saskatchewan.ca/tipp.
You may be eligible for cash rewards from the SaskTip Reward Program. Callers can remain anonymous.
