PRINCE GEORGE

Tuesday, February 6, 2024

A Prince George man recently received a $6,000 penalty and two-year hunting ban in connection with the illegal possession of a prohibited weapon and dead wildlife…

In the fall of 2021, Conservation Officers received information that an individual had illegally shot a mountain goat in the wrong Limited Entry Authorization hunting zone near McBride.

In December 2021, Conservation Officers, with assistance from the COS General Investigations Section, executed a related search warrant on a Prince George home.

During this search, officers located and seized brass knuckles, a freezer filled with parts of wildlife, as well as a bull moose head and meat and a mountain goat head.

Travais Galbraith pleaded guilty in January 2024 to various offences under the Wildlife Act and the Criminal Code of Canada, including: the unlawful possession of dead wildlife, failing to comply with compulsory inspection requirements and violations related to the unlawful possession of a prohibited weapon.
