explain to me why ohep cost 300 bucks?

Your $50.00 would work out to a monetary loss for the examiner. Give your head a shake buddy.

you tell him !!

Give me 300 bucks then why pay for something when it should be around 50 and that is top dollar

Compared to where? You conveniently highlighted New Brunswick as an example, where the course, and exam is put on by their MNR.

Big difference. If you think the cost of a provincially paid staffer is less than a private HSC instructor, give your head a shake. One province subsidizes it, others do not. You talk about open market pricing, and rant about price fixing, and then conveniently use a province where the course is done by the Govt. subsidized by the taxpayer.....have you ever heard the expression " you can't suck and blow at the same time"?

If the one time fee of $300 is too steep for a lifetime worth of hunting and shooting, then don't bother. As an FYI, I spend more than that in ammo each year.....

You are complaining for 300$ for one in your life time exam!!! Well, you better not hunting at all and buy your meat at the grocery store, a lot cheaper....

ya he is complaining that other provinces have the opportunity to do this on- line.... Not FORCED to take the course... If you want to do on- line with a in person exam then I am a believer that this can work and bring more hunters to the sport...

How many people were shot during the controlled deer hunts in Ontario this past fall? I am all in favour of mandatory safety courses for firearms possession and for your hunting licence.

not sure how many?.... Does this have anything to do with it being a on-line course?... Or how much they paid for it?... Anyhow IMO that this can and will eventually come to ontario.... IMHO!...

I read there was 6 ppl injured due to fire arms in ALL OF ONTARIO during deer season..

I paid $280 in 2005 for the one stop Hunters ed (courses & tests). Even with a full class (I think was 10 people maybe 12) after the guy pays all his expenses, can't see them making that much money.

If anyone really thinks this is a profitable business then maybe they should go be an instructor and teach the OHEP course.
