Compared to where? You conveniently highlighted New Brunswick as an example, where the course, and exam is put on by their MNR.

Big difference. If you think the cost of a provincially paid staffer is less than a private HSC instructor, give your head a shake. One province subsidizes it, others do not. You talk about open market pricing, and rant about price fixing, and then conveniently use a province where the course is done by the Govt. subsidized by the taxpayer.....have you ever heard the expression " you can't suck and blow at the same time"?

If the one time fee of $300 is too steep for a lifetime worth of hunting and shooting, then don't bother. As an FYI, I spend more than that in ammo each year.....

ya he is complaining that other provinces have the opportunity to do this on- line.... Not FORCED to take the course... If you want to do on- line with a in person exam then I am a believer that this can work and bring more hunters to the sport...

How many people were shot during the controlled deer hunts in Ontario this past fall? I am all in favour of mandatory safety courses for firearms possession and for your hunting licence.

I read there was 6 ppl injured due to fire arms in ALL OF ONTARIO during deer season..

I paid $280 in 2005 for the one stop Hunters ed (courses & tests). Even with a full class (I think was 10 people maybe 12) after the guy pays all his expenses, can't see them making that much money.

If anyone really thinks this is a profitable business then maybe they should go be an instructor and teach the OHEP course.

Ha..our Camp just spent $300 to turn the stew meat from our 3 deer into pepperettes...not a single guy complained !! :)
