In British Columbia, Michel Beaulieu pleaded guilty to letting a third person use his hunting license, says B.C. Conservation Officer Service (BCCOS). His fine is $4,500. His wife was fined $2,000 for hunting without a license.

These actions demonstrate contempt egregious for wildlife and fish protection laws in British Columbia and elsewhere, said BCCOS inspector Kyle Ackles.

Unfortunately, interprovincial poaching is not unusual.

Both agencies say the investigation lasted for two years. It included execution warrants in Alberta and British Columbia, DNA testing and ballistics expertise.

The content of Michel Beaulieu's show has been removed from all Wild TV platforms, indicates the management of the channel which is deeply disturbed and disappointed by the situation.

We do not support hunts that break the law or go against our values, continues the channel's publication on its Facebook page. However, the show's YouTube channel, which has over 10,000 subscribers, still features this content.

We stand alongside outdoor enthusiasts who despise poaching.
