A Manitoba man convicted of illegal hunting after shooting a moose has had an acquittal reinstated, after three Court of Appeal judges dismissed a conviction handed down in June. He had been hunting for food and did not think the land, a slough with no homes around for miles, was being put to use. He was acquitted in a provincial court but the reprieve was short-lived, as the decision was appealed. Then, on April 27, the conviction was dismissed by the Court of Appeal. According to that ruling, treaty status hunters can hunt for food on private land if it is not posted or does not appear to be cultivated.
