game warden says no kids

[greatwhite]

Like usual Jben, sawbill and FW are on the ball.

I believe there is much more to this storey then we have been told. I am not worried what so ever about having my son with me in a deer blind, grouse hunting, goose hunting.

Nicely said Sawbill, and thank you FW, you beat me to it.

I am sometimes utterly surprised how often this topic comes up. I'm almost as surprised by how often when referring (rightfully) to the letter of the law people don't include the full definition. It' critical. Im actually surprised the MNR only quotes the first half.

The letter of the law is quite clear, it's also not "silly". As worded it makes clear and it gives COs the ability to apply the spirit or not depending on what they witness/see (devil details). Personally, I don't think it could be worded any better. The critical second half, enables COs to charge non hunters in non hunting scenarios with infractions. Aka some douchbag using a rabbit as a football for field goals, aka some douchebag doing A to Z. Imo don't be so paranoid that they are "out to get us"…..

Is it "possible" a child/observer might get charged?
Yes, and why not. (devil details)…more importantly is gives COs the ability to charge non hunters who don't know much about game, or animals, their behaviors and so much more, or care much about game, animals, conservation…….





In this/these "specific" set of devil details?

Is pushing deer not harassing them?
Yes it is. We push (harass) them, so that we can shoot and kill them.

The difference between "observing" and "aiding"?
Thats for a CO to decide.

I was not fishing. Asked an honest question hoping for intelligent answers. spend my time hunting not posting. O

Fair enough ontdon but we don't know the circumstances why the CO said no kids and therefore cannot provide you with the intelligent answers you are looking for.

Whether it works or not I guess it really depends on how it makes us feel out there. If we are successful when we wear it ...it will make us feel even better. Some people will catch one fish on a lure and next thing you know they swear by it.

The new cammo patterns are a marketing tool to keep selling to us that are attracted to new gadgets in the hope it will make up for some of our limitations.

Wrong thread red foxx,

camo thread is that way ---------------------------------------------------->



As for the OP, something isn't passing the sniff test here. Any time I have ever met a CO, it has been a professional exchange. I have no doubt the CO's could catch me on minor stuff but I think they are more concentrated on the guys who break the big rules.

This pic was taken 12 years ago this fall and happens to be the last time I saw a CO. he had a good chuckle , checked my outdoors card and wished us luck. I still remember like yesterday my daughter squealing " daddy chicken" when I picked up the grouse.

You will find the answer on page 20, May/2014 issue of OOD.
