From the DNR: A Lester Prairie man faces a fine and restitution of $3,000 following his conviction for shooting and killing a trumpeter swan in Carver County Oct. 13.
State conservation officers Steve Walter and Aaron Kahre received a tip that an individual using a canoe was chasing and shooting at a trumpeter swan on Swan Lake near Waconia.
When the officers reached the scene they discovered Chad T. Woodall, 21, did not have a hunting license, was using a shotgun that held more than three shells at a time, was driving with a suspended license, and did not have any personal flotation divices in the canoe. He also did not possess a state or federal duck stamp, and wasn’t registered with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Harvest Information Program that is designed to provide wildlife experts with better data for the management of migratory bird populations.
Woodall’s sentencing is set for Friday, Jan. 11 in Carver County District Court.
