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 a 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 today in Medicine Hat 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.
