Call up the town to.find out if any changes have been made to discharge laws.
Sometimes town like to made.these changes when all is quiet.and people are away on vacation
I did a quick scan on the internet and cannot find anything new.
Yup called town. Min 300 meters from all property lines min fifty acres of farm land. And no target shooting and land to hunt must be farm land
Wow, that has to suck..... Hope it doesn't go through
Are you flippin kidding me? Hope this doesnt affect the shoreline duck hunt....
from what i hear .. the consultation and discussion is over. it goes to a vote on the 21 of july. again there will be no discussion the only hope they have is if the letter campaign is successful
You still have a bit of time to deal with this....
There was talk of a discharge bylaw in Quinte West recently. There was so much vocal support against it, it never even got going.
Make sure the OFAH knows. Let everyone you know, know about this. Everyone get on the horn to their councillors and lots of emails.
Stress to whoever you can that hunting and firearm use is already governed by "careless hunting" under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act and "careless use of a firearm" under the Criminal Code. A municipal bylaw is toothless and redundant.
Maybe start a Facebook page as well.
I wonder if MikePal will again think a bylaw like this is ok....
rumor has it that the ofah knew nothing about it .. i find that hard to believe seeing one of the zone E chairs lives in port hope ??
Call OFAH asap. We had this issue a while ago in a township I hunt. The end result was that the bylaw doesn't apply if it is on farm land that is being farmed by a real farmer. So basically fluff for the anti hunting crowd in town to make them feel good, but no real teeth as it doesn't apply on land cultivated by someone with a farm registration number.
