I experienced the same thing this year north of thunder bay, got pulled over said was a ride program, but zero locals got stopped, we were there for 45 minutes, he called the ministry cause we had 4 grouse. 2 cops cars a 2 ministry officers going over everything just trying to find something to give us a ticket for, we had everything we needed. Defiantly was over kill. Talked to my friend that is a local and he said they really give the southern people hard times.
Next year we will drive way back in to our camping spot and not come out so don't have the hassel, and spend no money locally.
Asked all 4 of us if we were hiding grouse, we had 4 in the truck, could of had 20 and 60 in our possession.
