Illegal hunting practices...could face a year in a hardcore canadian jail
CALGARY — Ultimate fighter Brock Lesnar has been charged with illegal hunting practices after a November 2010 hunting trip to southern Alberta.
Lesnar, along with a guide he had hired, have each been charged by Alberta Fish and Wildlife officers with three counts of unlawful possession of wildlife (a whitetail deer), wastage of edible flesh (of a mule deer) and failure to immediately affix a tag to an animal.
The incident happened on Nov. 19, 2010.
He was supposed to appear in court Thursday in Medicine Hat, Alta., but it was adjourned until Jan 19 for election and plea.
The case came to the attention of authorities after an inspection of a taxidermist in Lethbridge.
"A whitetail deer was found in the possession of the taxidermist and was not tagged and as a result of that an investigation ensued," said Sustainable Resource Development spokesman Darcy Whiteside.
Lesnar, an American, needed a guide to go hunting in Alberta.
"It is the responsibility of both the hunter and the guide to follow the regulations as it relates to hunting," said Whiteside.
The maximum penalty for each charge is a $50,000 fine and a year in prison.

Big deal? It's a fine for the hippies at most. Brock killed some rats for a meal. You should try it some time. Nothing better than a deer roast cut thin and slow cooked for some badass jerkey.

Here is how it works. Canada could put him in jail for a year and the UFC doesn't come back and make millions of dollars in taxes for the canadian government or ...'We're gonna let you off with a warning this time'

The former UFC heavyweight champion was pinched north of the border for violating three counts of the Alberta Fish and Wildlife Act, including improperly affixing tags, spoilage of skin/edible flesh and possession of a controlled animal.
A lawyer for Brock Lesnar appeared in a Medicine Hat court and pleaded guilty on his client's behalf to improper tagging of an animal during a hunting trip last year. He was fined $1,725 and given a six-month hunting suspension. Lesnar, who is 34, was accused by fish and wildlife officials of shooting a mule deer buck but only packing the trophy head out. He was charged along with a hunting guide. The director of the Alberta Professional Outfitters Society said it is considered unethical to leave edible meat in the field.
