Here's an interesting link. Not sure how often it is updated, but I'll be checking in from time to time to see what's new.

Thanks, been watching Newfoundlands report of fishing offences for years, didnt know we had access to this.

This is one pretty interesting.....

48 year old male from Lunenburg County was suspended from hunting for 20 years for a violation under the Maintenance Enforcement Act. Individuals who have been found in default of child support payments can receive various penalties including hunting suspensions.

I dont appreciate people not supporting their families, but 20 years no hunting. Interesting

$500 fine and a 2 year suspension for a 35 year old man shooting through someone's home? Did they forget some zero's?

Nice to see the deer jacker in Chezzetcook got some significant fines. I think you should lose your hunting and firearm privileges for life if ever convicted though, 5 years isn't long enough.

Looks like they have added more offences.

 

[243 win.]

More enforcement offences listed up to aug.7.

Some small towns have a crime report in there local news paper. This is sort of the same thing, but have never seen this list before. Interesting to see a couple of folks charged for shooting to close to a dwelling or road. I guess other peoples safety is not any of their concern.

Back in the early 80s dnr put out a magazine called ns. conservation, used to get every 3 or 4 months. At that time they used to publish the names of people charged with hunting offences.

February 5, 2015 a 49 year old male was convicted in Shelburne County for cutting timber on Crown land and illegal possession of alcohol. The individual cut and removed 2.5 cords of wood and received a $460.00 fine.

That's a reasonable price for 2.5 cords of wood while enjoying a drink or two,,,I paid $500 cut split delivered for 2 cord no alcohol hahaha....Almost seems worth the risk...lol

Hardwood on the stump is only worth about $25-$30 a cord. Most of the value of firewood is in the sweat. It's the cutting the tree down, moving it to roadside, blocking it up, splitting it up, loading it on a truck, trucking it miles to your home, then unloading it that costs the other $220/cord. I'm not saying the fine was reasonable, because I'd like to see all the fines be higher....way higher!

i dont imagine he got to keep the wood...unless it was already burned when the charges were laid.

I thought I remembered the province putting a stop to prive firewood permits, but it looks like they are back... I have no idea why their would be a 3.5 month waiting list to get a permit though! wow!
