If you could change/create one hunting reg/law, what would it be?

Other than MBCA wildlife convictions aren't Federal. Just curious why a hunting or fishing conviction could have an impact on whether some guy gets a PAL renewed?

It doesn't. i think the implication was that maybe it should? but i may have read that wrong. but that's what i got from it. which makes sense i suppose, if you have a pile of hunting related convictions, should you really legally possess in canada? debatable.

I believe there should be a mandatory course for duck hunting. Almost like turkey education course. Provides new hunters the proper methods on waterfowl ID- ing and waterfowl ethics. I remember the hunters Ed course showed an outline of one duck and that was all.

No Sawbill has it right under the firearms act section 5 Provincial Wildlife convictions would not preclude a poacher from having his PAL renewed.But if I had access to the convictions I would list them in the results of my applicants background check and forward it to the Chief Provincial Firearms Officer.I could not get them so they did not get listed.

I had to take the course in 1993 when I moved to Ontario and back then they did.

Would allow handguns for carry in wilderness(both hunters and fishermans),still no hunting during night time but would allow firearms not being encased in wilderness areas.
zero tolerance on alcohol and influenced behaviour.

I'd like to see Bowhunters have to pass a proficiency exam before they could buy their Tags....many states do it. Cuts down on wounded animals because hunters couldn't hit the vitals on a deer at 20 yds out of their treestands.

Dito ,BUT. For all types of hunting. Not just bow. Europe, nordik countries maintains animal pops this way. It works. Most bow hunters actually practice more due to muscle conditioning req'd than the fudds with guns I've seen

#2 the stupid rule that draws the firearm/non-firearm line at 500 fps with no other logic

In Sweden it's called the Jägarexamen;

Definitely challenges the shooters capabilities...



The problem with Archery, not many practice 3D from an elevated stand....seen it many times...10 arrows in the bull at ground level but miss the Bag from 16' up...

An example of a proficiency test from Iowa;

In NB if your name gets drawn for the moose hunt you need to pass a shot test at the MNR range I think the target is 100 yards. 3 tries no pass no Moose.

It's called proficiency with arm. No matter the arm or the country. It's needed for all firearms and bows. Ya elevation tricks some archers. Having said that by the time the season comes I'm usually more accurate with bow at any height than Elmer who's thrown a few down range. I've seen flubs by archers. Personally I've seen way more firearm flubbed shots
