Wow! reading all these posts is an education!
IMO ... Wouldn't it be easier to just shoot the trespassers and bury them?

Gilroy, you are right and I did want that badge number but my friends were so spooked and intimidated that they kept me back from doing it.
I also followed the officers instructions, (when you have a gun pointed at you best not to argue semantics) but I did calmly ask him what the problem was. I didn't get into it in my first post but that officer didn't have a clue about the laws around hunting. 2 of his gems at the time was that there was nowhere legal to hunt south of the French river?!?! and that you couldn't have a firearm uncased within 2 kilometres of any trail. I explained what wildlife management units were, open seasons, the more realistic distance from a road which I put at approximately 7m at the time. I had produced my pal (possibly the green FAC at that time) and outdoors card. He didn't want to hear any of what I was saying.
It was my opinion then and now that a little disciplinary action for his conduct and some additional training could have gone a long way.
That won't happen unless you talk to his supervisor. You're not doing the officer or anyone he contacts any good with regards to hunting in the future if you don't report it. It doesn't have to be a complaint-more like a heads up for his boss.
It is NOT hard to have them charged. Every time I have caught them I have forwarded their info to the MNR and they have charged them the next day. During shotgun they are busy, but they will come when they are not. And you can appear as agent for the owner. All they need to do is sign a form saying you have exclusive permission. And that is if they fight it. I also photograph their firearms, faces, licences and vehicles where appropriate. That way they can seize the property too.
Its left up to the discretion of the officer .....been there done that .....shot a deer and we tracked it to private land where it had dropped.....called MNR, they came and told us we had to obtain permission from the said landowner to get it...if the landowner says no then it now is up to the landowner to retrieve and not let it spoil since it is on there property and if they did not, the owner would be charged......most would say go get it cause they dont want the responsibility......this scenario happened as it was shot legally and not poached....if a crime is committed than yes the deer is seizedQuote:
