Carry shotgun while filling feeders?

http://files.ontario.ca/environment-...ife/239852.pdf buy some bear spray or break the law. Coyotes are not open all season up north... Bear attacks are rare. I bait with a buddy and we both bring in bear spray. Once the season opens bring your shotgun and buy a tag... Great tasting sausages and burgers..easier to use bear spray too then using a gun.

I wouldn't be breaking the law as fox, coyote are open all year in my WMU.
I'm not that far up north

Considering the fellow from Matheson Ontario was attacked killed an dragged off into the bush and his two dogs could not stop it. To each their own if you want to carry a gun go ahead.

I'd rather be judged by twelve than carried by six. If it ever comes down to making a quick decision,the Bear's a goner.

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

In GEorgia, where I have family, hunters carry side arms when setting up, scouting, checking cams... etc... it's the norm..

Gotta love 'Merica

Everyone's talking about COs charging people out in the bush... I haven't hunted as long as many of you, but I have seen a CO only once in the field in the decade or so I've hunted...and that was S. Ont. Fishing trips? maybe a few times. Not saying it should change your decision. If it's illegal, I would argue one should still obey the law.

I never had one leave the truck, they always waited for us to get back to our vehicle.

There is not really that much enforcement, I doubt you would ever see one during a closed season, during an open season generally during the busiest time and with an OPP officer to verify firearms licenses too. At least that is what I have run across, I have never seen one on the water but we don't fish busy places.

Don't know why you think a CO can charge you for carrying a gun I the bush. Nothing illegal about carrying a gun I the woods

Hunting without a license or out of season? That might be illegal.
If you are going to try to convince him you are target shooting, you'd better be ready to show him where.
...and there's $500 fine for lying to a CO - even if you didn't do anything else wrong.
