Daniel Aldo Gazzola, 33, from Maple Ridge, B.C. was dealt a 10-year hunting ban as part of his sentence after he pleaded guilty to five offences under B.C.’s Wildlife Act. He was one of the scum behind an Instagram account called Backcountry Carnivores. He also pulled a $50,000 fine for illegally hunting and killing wildlife in multiple incidents across British Columbia.
Backcountry Carnivores showed up on the radar of cops on Oct. 9, 2023, after Gazzola opened fire in a residential neighbourhood in Sheridan Lake. He shot and killed a deer 48 yards from the nearest home, which was occupied.
