Year Long-Plus Investigation By Conservation Officer Service Began In The South Cariboo

Four BC individuals are facing a combined 43 charges in connection with unlawfully hunting and killing wildlife in multiple incidents throughout the Province.

Conservation Officer Service stated on social media that the investigation began in the fall of 2023 when CO’s responded to a report of shots fired near a cabin in Sheridan Lake near 100 Mile House.

“The investigation led to the execution of two search warrants in the Lower Mainland.” Conservation Officer Service stated. “Two of the accused operated as social media influencers who ran a backcountry hunting site.”

The charges relate to unlawful hunts and violations related to the killing of 2 stone sheep, 2 mountain goat, 1 elk, and 4 mule deer.

The four are scheduled to appear in Kamloops Provincial Court today (March 10).

Conservation Officer Joel Kline said “This was a complex case that was investigated for more than a year. We’d like to thank the public for their prompt reporting to the RAPP line.”
