I do know of another case years ago in another province where an outfitter had received the improper license for waterfowl in a specific area. When his residence was searched the charged him for the possession totals of the 4 hunters. Turned out to be 40 some counts of hunting without a license, then another 30 counts for fish that didn’t have a receipt purchased from a local licensed Native. Over 80 charges by the time they were done with him, from two actual infractions. 1. Not checking the license issued to him and 2. Not keeping the receipts for the fish.
In the end he got $130 fine for the paperwork mix up and the rest were thrown out. At the beginning the lynch mob wanted blood !
I’m not saying this is the same, but this list of charges does seem ambitious on F&W’s part
