Trespassers

[trimmer21]

Fratri, posting "no hunting" signs on property, then not being able to hunt on it, is a myth. Not sure where that idea originated, but it's right up there with the nonsense of retrieving game on private land without landowners permission.

Your first sentence is accurate in every province except New Brunswick. They're on a different planet down there when it comes to hunting regulations. I'm not sure what you mean with your last sentence,but, if you mean we aren't allowed to retrieve downed game from private property without permission,you'll be right about that,too. Under every circumstance,no body may enter private property without permission except CO's and Police when in the lawful execution of their duties.

And a landowner can even have a CO trespassed it’s happened more than twice

Maybe I didn't word it right but after the OPP talked to the landowner, the landowner went with the advice of the OPP and decided
to post it (no hunting, no trespassing) and not allow anyone to hunt his property...

As far as retrieving game on private property, you are right, you can't do that without permission either...

Guess I'd like to hear the details about that????. CO's do have the right to enter private property if they have due cause. So unless you're going to tell us about an 'off duty' CO caught trespassing I'd really have to see some facts.

If you mean charged , It must have been under some very unusual circumstances..

Others where co drove across wheat field had to leave truck sitting till damages paid. Not everyone out in a field is a hunter or poacher some are farmers just taking soil samples or cutting a down tree along a fence line

Not a good read stopped when I heard the guy was a retired prosecutor.
That's the problem with this world right now.
Cry that the LEO's and CO's aren't doing enough to investigate but when they do slam them for being out there.

That was an interesting read, it's a good thing he new a thing or two about the law as most of us wouldn't know where to turn and have given up. Thanks for posting, I just got a little smarter

You are correct, this certainly is a good read. An apology was all that was asked and look where this went...... One can only hope that a civil suit ensues and perhaps we'll hear the results. There is much that smacks of failure to do one's job as in the case of the one who squashed the legal process....one can only hope her legal career is short!

Thanks for digging this out!

Better check with your co on that one

Trespassing is trespassing



“When government becomes a law breaker, it breeds contempt for law”

We had that exact experience.
A phone call was made to the landowner in order to enter the neighbors property and fetch the moose.
Bush Moose comments- Seems a huge gray area to just walk on a property and say you are looking for a downed animal..
Would be a great learning experience to have that clarified within a statute somewhere if in fact you can legally trespass to retrieve an animal.
