  Posted on Sun, Nov. 06, 2005 ENFORCEMENT: Illegal buck proves costly for EGF man Hunter pays $969 in fines, restitution for shooting buck during early antlerless season By Brad Dokken Herald Staff Writer An East Grand Forks man has paid nearly $1,000 in fines and restitution and lost his hunting privileges for three years for shooting a whitetail buck and failing to site-tag big game during an early, antlerless-only deer season in northwestern Minnesota. Derrick Peter Rasmussen of East Grand Forks paid $469 in fines and $500 restitution in connection with the incidents, according to a spokeswoman for the Polk County court administrator's office in Crookston. Under state law, hunters or anglers convicted of two or more violations also lose their privileges for three years. Pat Znajda, conservation officer for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in Stephen, Minn., encountered Rasmussen and three hunting partners Oct. 15 along the Red River north of East Grand Forks. The men were using an ATV to haul two deer - a fawn and a nine-point buck - out of the woods, Znajda said in an incident report. Entry and exit wounds on the buck were consistent with the size of a shotgun slug, the officer said, and steam was rising from the carcass. Rasmussen initially claimed to have shot the buck with a bow several hours earlier, Znajda said, but later admitted he used a shotgun and slug to kill the deer. The fawn, while legal game for a firearm, wasn't tagged as required, and Znajda seized both deer and Rasmussen's unused tags as evidence. Meat from the deer was given to a family in need. Limited to antlerless deer, the DNR offered the early season Oct. 15-16 in permit areas 209, 210, 252, 256 and 257 of northwestern Minnesota and in three permit areas in northern Twin Cities suburbs.
