    Sounds like he had no permission to hunt on a property so decided to hunt from the road.

    Yep. I wonder what the guy was thinking. That's a special kind of stupid.

    The guy was 72 years old, when did he takes his Hunting Safety Course? Possibly years ago, possibly not much was mention about having a loaded firearm on the road, back then, God knows I don't recall much being said about back in the 60s. With the Hunting Regs on the computer, which he may not have, and the availability of the Regs in print being sketchy, he may have thought having a loaded gun on a road was no longer a problem. Maybe he's been road hunting for years and has only finally been called on it. Now what will part of his punishment for being caught? Just be a fine? Or will he be required to pass a Firearm Safety course and do Hunter Education training, to bring him up to speed on the Regs?

    You don't stop hunting because you grow old. You grow old because you stop hunting.

    Although this article is almost 2 years old,the report gives the impression the guy was walking down a main street in the middle of town which is typical of reporters these days trying to embellish their article. Actually,the road was a rural concession with a few farms on it well off the beaten path. Simple trespassing and carrying a loaded firearm on a right of way are not big deal federal crimes as the reporter would lead one to believe. They're simple provincial offenses that would garner a ticket at the most. Set fine under the TPA is $250 and under the FWCA is $150. Granted,anyone who's hunted any length of time should know better being common knowledge.

    Nope. Neither of these are crimes,just simple provincial offenses. The checks made through CPIC by an officer to confirm PAL validity and for outstanding warrants isn't grounds for background checks by a CFO as long as nothing arises from them. It's "ho-hum" stuff.
