This large black bear was taken in Becker county after it wandered into an individual's back yard.  It was not causing damage or harm.  The violator had no license to harvest a bear.  After killing the bear, he went to purchase a "no quota" license, but lives in a limited quota area.  

This Lake Sturgeon was taken illegally from the Rainy River near Baudette.  The capture of this violator was the result of a TIP call.
