BANGOR, Maine (AP) - Federal prosecutors say a Canadian man has been sentenced to a month in prison for importing illegally harvested moose antlers into the United States.
Prosecutors say 57-year-old Daniel Dyer of Plaster Rock, New Brunswick, was also sentenced to a $5,000 fine on Tuesday. Court records say Dyer is a Canadian outfitter and guide who arranged for a West Virginia man to unlawfully harvest a moose in New Brunswick so Dyer could bring the animal’s antlers and hide through Maine into the U.S.
Records say Dyer delivered the hide to a taxidermist in Pennsylvania and the antlers to the West Virginia man, Richard Eaton. Eaton was convicted of receiving the illegally taken moose in 2014.
