Four Sudbury-area hunters accused of leaving a doe in the bush to rot have each been fined $750.
All four pleaded guilty to abandoning flesh so that it may become unsuitable to human consumption.
The hunter who unlawfully killed the deer was given an additional $1,000 fine.
Court heard that an investigation launched by the Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officers from Sudbury after a doe was found shot and abandoned, led to a hunting party that had attached its single doe hunting tag to another harvested deer.
