A man has been banned from hunting for 20 years after shooting a robotic moose.
Robert Lee McLaren is the first person in Nova Scotia to be found guilty of the crime after shooting Bullwinkle, a full-sized moose decoy used by the Natural Resources Department to help combat the poaching of mainland moose. The animals became an endangered species in 2003.
Eight Guysborough County residents also charged with shooting the decoy will go to court later this spring.
