Bullwinkle bags slew of illegal hunting, firearms charges in C.B.
 Entrapment!BADDECK, Canada Hes big, hes lifelike and hes convinced more than a few hunters to take a shot at him. Bullwinkle, a two-metre-tall, two-metre-long life-size replica of a Cape Breton Highlands moose, is one of two decoys recently used by the Natural Resources Department during a sting that saw over 20 charges laid against hunters. Operation Top Bull took place during a 12-day period in September in the Cape Breton Highlands, traditional stomping grounds for the hefty herbivore. "One hundred per cent of hunters that saw the decoy shot at it," conservation officer Blowers Stubbert told The Chronicle Herald on Monday. The moose is so real that one hunter even took aim and fired at two different decoys in different locations on the same day, he said. Posted by: .com 2006-12-13 |
