Hunting with a bicycle

[Snowwalker]

I believe you are correct. James Smedley wrote an article about hunting with the aid of a bicycle in OOD a few years ago, and he covered this. It makes one wonder though, why is hunting from a canoe legal yet hunting from a bicycle is not?

Canoe are not listed as a vehicle in the highway traffic act..

Also... You can not step away from a canoe in order to shoot, but you can step away from a vehicle!

You going Viet Cong on us now?

I had at one time a hard plastic bike trailer with a welded aluminium frame. It was no wider then my handle bars, and would carry 120lbs. Clean up was easy down to the car wash and good as new. Now going down hills could be fun.

Both make sense. Thank you.

I thought the wording was from a MOTORIZED vehicle or towed BY a motorized vehicle, including a boat. Horses, bicycles and maybe sailboats should be fine......

I too remember bic lic . I should have looked up definition in regs before saying it was .

Most people do not know that a peddle bike is in fact a Vehicle under the highway traffic act. At one time you had to have a License plate for your bike just like you do now for your car.

It's little things like that that can cost you. Should I call you mean names now?

Regardless of what the Highway Traffic Act says, the Highway Traffic Act does not apply on a trail. Therefore the definition under the HTA would not apply.

The Act that covers this is the FWCA. And yes, a bicycle is considered a vehicle under the FWCA.

As for the definition surrounding canoe, it is not considered a motor vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act, but it is under the Criminal Code when it comes to impaired driving, etc. Under the FWCA, a canoe is considered a "boat".
