Carry shotgun while filling feeders?

So I have a couple feeders out for deer, but currently getting more bears eating then anything else.
I'm filling them weekly and just wondering if it's wise/legal to carry my shotgun with me while filling my feeders.
Can I carry for self defence?

It depends on which area your feeders are in. The southern part of the province has a year long small game season and the northern part doesn't.

Ok that help's :) I think fox and yotes are open all year in my area, as are skunks.
Thanks

I bait nearly every day since mid July and for Spring bear never felt the need to take a gun.Make noise going in and keep observant and you won't have a problem.

Buy some bear spray or wait until bear season is open to bring in the shot gun. Once bear season is open you are game to carry a shotgun with hunter orange or just buy bear spray or make some noise while baiting.

Cary a gun. It just takes that one bear to decide he doesn't like you.

Rater have one and not need it , than need it and not have one.

Who cares what every once else says, if you feel that it is safest for you to bring a shotgun then bring a shotgun.

I have baited for bears and I always brought a gun in to the bait, most of our baits were in areas where you could be ambushed and I did not really care what anyone had to say, I felt safer with one so I brought it.

Legal or not....

One reason why legal open carry side arms would be awesome for travel in Canada's wilds.

A 12ga pump with a short barrel gets close though, hit the 26in minimum.
