Laws are Laws, but a bit of common sense and discretion also has to be used .
I was the dog feild hunting ducks for my Dad and uncles and their buddies till I was 9 then I was given the 410 of my Grandfathers and shot some ducks my first was a hen mallard and I'll never forget that day I even remeber the field I was in :D
Hmmm....we're quite the bunch of poachers now aren't we LOL
S.
I would hazzard a guess that there's not one person of adult age, that hasn't fractured a law or two at one point or another.Quote:

My son at 9 years old would go with me as well. He even pointed out some birds. I don't think that is the real intention of the law. Even an unlicensed adult....if they said look ...a deer over there... I think one would be pushing the "hunting" definition a bit. I'd fight that one if there was an officer that felt that was worth giving a ticket to!!

I take my 9 year out for geese, he points them out, technically it is illegal, but I doubt anyone will say anything about a 10 year old. Now if you had another adult out they calling and spotting, I would imagine the CO wouldn't be none to harpy about.
Back in the 1950's in NS. My mother's family was poor. Back then it was pretty common to poach to put food on the table. My Grandfather would go at at night when the tides were right and poach lobsters, they use to call them "Red Ones". As well back then when he needed meat he just went out and shot a deer. It was survival back then. Mom use to get made fun of sometimes at school because she was poor and was always eating lobster sandwiches, it was considered the poor mans food back then. Poaching was almost a must back in those days.
In the 1960's I think can't remember now my Grandfather became the manager of the airport and part of his job was to walk the run way and shoot Pheasants so they didn't hit the planes. So mom also had a lot of Pheasant dinners back then. He even had a 12 gauge single shot that was stamped Ont he side "Government of Canada Issued". My cousin got that gun.
