Barter for bear meat

[Deer Wrastler]

absolutely nothing wrong with giving and receiving gifts of game meat or fish. I gave my boss a bunch of walleye the same day as my review and what do you know I passed with flying colours and no areas for improvement lol...I regularly give venison to those that want to try it or cannot hunt due to time constraints or that didnt fill their tag cause they suck at hunting.

Does anyone know if you are allowed to trade or gift bear meat for deer meat. I have some much bear sausages.

I think if you take out the word trade and just gift your bear meat you are not doing anything illegal.......

Does anyone including the Police ever drive the speed limit. Was doing 100 in an 80 zone and the Police passed me, I found him at Timmies.

Words from the summary
In general, it is illegal to buy, sell or barter any game wildlife or specially protected wildlife or their parts (including taxidermy mounts). There are some exemptions – please contact your nearest ministry office to find out what these may be.
There is a difference between a gift and commerce.



So if no one catches you its okay to ignore the rules?
Posting on a public site your intentions would sure to get someones attention.

If you stand on a curve at an intersection and watch car as they approach a STOP sign, or arriving at a RED LIGHT to make a right hand turn. It becomes pretty clear that ignoring the rules it quite fashionable. Both incidents require driver before they proceed, to fully arrested the forward momentum of their vehicle, few if any get beyond taping their break pedal, which really doesn't arrest the forward momentum of the vehicle, that actually only happen when you lock down your breaks. If the car is still moving forward after you have tapped your break pedal you have not fully stopped. Having said this I can't imagine the level of grind lock that would existed, if 95% of the motorist didn't choose to ignore the rules. The other key element is law enforcement are reluctant to enforce the full stop, as it would mean to much court time, at least that was the confession I received from an OPP when I question him about the matter. So it all boils down to your personal ethics, So for some I would expected bartering wild game is likely to follow the same resolution. I don't barter wild game, and I tend to obey stop signs and fully stop, so if you are in a hurry it's best not to follow me.

Boy , have you got that one right.
I guess some are getting bored, too much time on their hands and come up with this silly stuff.

I give meat away all the time, don't see a problem with it as long as it was taken legally. I give you some meat, than you give me meat. I wouldn't take that as bartering. You are not making a profit or doing it commercially, just friends sharing different meats. But who am I to know.

There shouldn't really be any problem giving away legally taken wild game. A problem only occurs if there is an expectation of receiving something in return, or if some type of obligation is established between the giver and the receiver. That is when you move from gifting to bartering. Let's take this idea out on the limb a bit, you receive a book of lottery tickets you are expected to sell, you approach Henry to buy a ticket from you and he does.
Sometime later another lottery comes to town and Henry receive a book of lottery tickets to sell, so he approach you to buy a ticket for the lottery he is selling tickets for. Should you feel obligated to do so? You, of course, do not see yourself as a gambler, and so decline. What is Henry likely to say, if in the future you approach him to buy another lottery ticket from you? I offer this to show how easily and expectation or obligation might be set in motion.
