Two men violated the provincial Wildlife Act after running down a coyote in a truck and killing it in Vanderhoof.
A year ago, witnesses reported two men in a pickup truck running over a coyote on the frozen Tachik Lake, injuring the coyote, before killing it with a machete.
Conservation officers were able to track down the men’s vehicle.
The driver pleaded guilty last August and was fined $5,000 and suspended from hunting for three years.
The passenger pleaded guilty on Jan. 25 this year and was fined $500.
