Remember, the Liberals has turn Ontario into a nanny state. The kids must hold a hunter apprenticeship safety card.

No they don't !

If it was a control hunt it would might be understandable as they are trying to control
the numbers as a licensed hunter I could not sit with anyone without a control validation

As long as they are not participating in anyway, they are legal. I have researched this fully.

As I stated in my original post " Close Proximity to the hunter" arms length. Their fathers would also have them outfitted appropriately in Hunter Orange.

If they are not hunting, not in any way, then they do not require any hunter orange and also do not need to be licensed.

It seems as though the OP was asking a question.

If the CO is walking around charging people for having their kids with them they are just idiots, they need someone to go after this in court and have the judge put them in their place.

I was 5 when I started shooting with dad, the 22LR.
I was 7 or 8 when I first started going hunting with him, just sat beside him.
I was 15 when I was hunting with him, with my minors permit and full hunting license, if the apprenticeship happened back then I would have been hunting at 12.

It's a dumb law that we should be pushing the gov't to change.

Humans have been taking their kids to hunt with them since we have been on this Earth. It is completely ethical and natural - nanny state-ism at it's worst!

I spoke to a CO about this last year. As long as a person is not aiding the hunt they are OK to be there. Help call, sit in another blind or tree stand, carry equipment, push the bush, gut or drag an animal and they need a license.

Actually, an unlicensed person can assist in the recovery of legally killed game. We checked this out when a buddy from the States came moose hunting with us. Also, the response from David Critchlow, MNRF Enforcement Specialist, in OOD, Ask a CO, article, indicated the same. When in doubt, call the MNRF.....
