What if You Were Warden?: Investigating Deer Hunters

[Fox]

Other than bird shot loaded when deer hunting....Use prohibited shot when hunting big game.....

You can hunt small game during a big game season, as long as you have hunter orange on.

Not when your shotgun is loaded with a slug. You are either deer hunting or bird hunting. You can’t be loaded with slugs and birdshot...
You didn’t watch the video, did you ??

You cannot hunt small game with anything larger than #2 shot during a big game hunt unless you also have a license to hunt big game at that time.

Where does it say in Ontario that you cannot use a slug for rabbit hunting?

In the video, buddy No longer had a deer tag, ( no party hunting there ) So, if you are Bird hunting here with no deer licence, loaded with a slug, you are toast !! If you are party hunting deer with a deer licence and loaded with birdshot and slugs, you are toast.....you should know this stuff !
As far as your stupid question goes, you can’t hunt rabbits with a slug during a big game season unless you have the appropriate licence and are big game hunting.

You stated "That would have ended quite differently here in Ontario …" and these comments are in response to that comment.
What laws did he break if this happened here? Throwing an other jurisdictions laws is just a deflection.

Huh ???? If the situation happened here, what jurisdiction’s regulations would you think would be applied ?? Certainly not Maine’s........if those were our COs, in Ontario, given the same scenario, you bet it would have ended differently ! You can’t hunt deer with a shotgun loaded with bird shot !! If buddy says he is bird hunting with a shotgun loaded with a slug, that’s an offence as well....

The person you blew up at said that in Ontario there would not have been any problems.

It is not illegal in Ontario to hunt small game with slugs during a deer hunt if you have the appropriate license, using your tag does not get rid of your license as you can still be party hunting, again, not illegal in Ontario.

That is what the response was to you.

I am done.

If there is an open season for big game, you cannot carry slugs or buckshot if you do not have a licence and tag for that big game.
Pembroke CO's regularly bust guys for hunting bear without a license if they have slugs with them while bird hunting.

From the regs:
Firearms
If you are hunting small game in an area
where there is an open season for deer,
moose, elk, or black bear, you may not
possess or use a centre-fire rifle or shells
loaded with ball or with shot larger than
No. 2 shot (non-toxic equivalents include
steel shot larger than triple BBB, or bismuth
larger than double BB), unless you possess
a valid licence to hunt deer, moose, elk
or black bear as the case may be
