Legality question ?

I think that was called growing up in the seventies.

Also in the 60's and late 50's.

Am I in?, seems like good company LOL....

I guess I can join that club as I also took my daughter goose and duck hunting with me after work when I would pick her up at either the baby sitters or my parents , till she was old enough to stay by herself for a few hours till my wife got home .

While she was with me in the blind, I would also let her blow a duck or goose call when things slowed down , when I mentioned this to my buddy a full time CO., he thought it was great no thought of any charges being laid, he then also did the same with his daughter as she was just a couple of months younger than mine .

Laws are Laws, but a bit of common sense and discretion also has to be used .

I would hazzard a guess that there's not one person of adult age, that hasn't fractured a law or two at one point or another.
As far as kids blowing duck calls, have at 'er. They can't be charged anyway. No CO would look twice !

My son at 9 years old would go with me as well. He even pointed out some birds. I don't think that is the real intention of the law. Even an unlicensed adult....if they said look ...a deer over there... I think one would be pushing the "hunting" definition a bit. I'd fight that one if there was an officer that felt that was worth giving a ticket to!!

Sh-h-h,don't tell them that. It would spoil this ridiculous argument. LOL

I take my 9 year out for geese, he points them out, technically it is illegal, but I doubt anyone will say anything about a 10 year old. Now if you had another adult out they calling and spotting, I would imagine the CO wouldn't be none to harpy about.

Back in the 1950's in NS. My mother's family was poor. Back then it was pretty common to poach to put food on the table. My Grandfather would go at at night when the tides were right and poach lobsters, they use to call them "Red Ones". As well back then when he needed meat he just went out and shot a deer. It was survival back then. Mom use to get made fun of sometimes at school because she was poor and was always eating lobster sandwiches, it was considered the poor mans food back then. Poaching was almost a must back in those days.

In the 1960's I think can't remember now my Grandfather became the manager of the airport and part of his job was to walk the run way and shoot Pheasants so they didn't hit the planes. So mom also had a lot of Pheasant dinners back then. He even had a 12 gauge single shot that was stamped Ont he side "Government of Canada Issued". My cousin got that gun.

Apart from the Regs this is the most read thread for 10 pages LOL

I know of NO ONE, who would hunt with someone without a licence.

i go hunting with my friend all the time he has a hunting license... but doesn't have a PAL.... hes got his h1 too..
again as per what i said...
you dont need a icense to SHOOT a gun. you need one to own and buy a gun. under superivision of a licensed owner it's perfectly legal..
now, if your talking hunting licences.. you not reading properly what has been said...
advise your re-read it
