Always wondered what an "influencer" was and what they did. .......FWB

“Influencer” is social media code for “shit disturber, or deviant” in my humble opinion!

In the old days before the internet we called them "used car salesmen."

Not all influencers are bad, there are a couple up here who keep all who watch honest on our current Fed Gov, specifically the idiot in charge. I also watch a couple other influencer shows, Lite Bright and Matts of rd are none hunting ones I watch.

The one posted here some time ago about his lion with a crossbow sure did start many pages.

Same as a somewhat recent outcome of a high ranking CAF person with allegations, he was fired, removed from command and shammed. After court all was NOT proven and he was exonerated. How does one come back from that?

As for accused above, I will wait till some definitive non biased facts are presented before I make any informed decision.

The story is pretty thin on actual facts.

MSN ‘short on actual facts’ - surely you jest

"Explore don't exploit" is an odd trademark for an Instagram outdoors influencer.

Back in the black and white days, Sheriff Andy Taylor once told his deputy, Barney Fife, "If we went by the book, we'd have nothing but a 135 million jailbirds". All I need to do is drive on I95 or the Jersey Turnpike to prove that.

Thank you for the update

That’s it? $30K Canadian? No jail?

Thanks for the info.

it all came down to "misleading information on residency status which then made the otherwise legal bear hunt, illegal. Very mild sentencing and guilty of 3 of the 17 initial items. So shitstorm in a waterglass.

Yukon residency​

Bring in proof of residency if you are getting a Yukon resident hunting licence for the first time.

You're a Yukon resident if:​

• you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident;
• your primary residence is in the Yukon for at least 12 months before applying for a licence; and
• you have spent at least 185 days in the Yukon during that period.

If you reside in the Yukon but leave for school, work or medical reasons, you may qualify for a resident hunting licence. Visit a Department of Environment office to complete a residency exemption declaration form.

I did not say he NOTHING, but all things considered it is still a ruling that is far from the possible maximum ( 50.k fine, 2 years confinement and lifelong hunting ban). There are no details in the reports what he did wrong. So compared with the initial upset tone, all pretty mild
