New Hunter - London

[saulo92]

Hello guys! Is any Hunter in London avaible to do give rides for a new hunter?
I come from Brazil, just got my outdoors card and small games hunting licence but I dont own a car, so things are not that easy for me.
I am really looking forward to hunting squirrels and rabbits. I know we are not in open season yet, but I want to be ready when it comes. But if you are hunting any other small game that I could hunt with a pellet gun, I would be very happy to follow you.
Thank you!

Hopefully you have a PAL as well, when hunting with pellet rifle. Good luck with finding a buddy to hunt with. Welcome to forum, lots of great advice and good people to learn from here.

Class H1 Outdoors Card –
Residents

The H1 card permits the cardholder to hunt with all methods permitted under the
Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997. Applicants for this version of the Outdoors Card will have to provide documentation that they have passed both the Ontario Hunter Education Course exam and the Canadian Firearms Safety Course exam. These courses are normally delivered in a "One-Stop" combined course; however, both courses are avail-able independently if desired. "One-Stop" graduates will meet provincial training requirements to hunt with a gun or bow hunting equipment and the federal training requirements for firearm possession, acquisition and ownership.

Any person with a hunting version of an Ontario Outdoors Card, Ontario Hunting Licence or Hunter Education Exam Report indicating a pass issued after January 1, 1968, and before January 1, 2006, will be eligible for the H1 Outdoors Card.

Class H2 Outdoors Card –

Residents Only


The H2 card permits the cardholder to hunt with all methods permitted under the Act except guns. Applicants for this version of the Outdoors Card will have to provide documentation that they have passed the Ontario Hunter Education Course exam.

Air is classed as firearm now, no (under) 500 fps for hunting anymore. Thats how I read it IMHO

If that were the case (and it may be, but I don't believe so) everyone with a crossbow would need a PAL as well as "bows" is listed there. And I haven't heard boo on here from all the X-Bow hunters about it.
