All three have been fined and hunting privileges suspended. Here is the news article:
HAMILTON – Three Hamilton men have forfeited their hunting privileges after being found guilty of killing deer for the thrill of it last year.

The deer could have run off and died in the woods or been hauled off by predators. There could still be deer out there with bullets in them.”……Read the rest of the Missoulian story here.
