Filing a compliment or complaint against a Conservation Officer.

[Gilroy]

gilroy, that topic is actually worth some serious discussion.
for the time being I was more thinking of very low hanging fruits:
all of those who think the regs are just perfect, may want to explain to me:
a) why it is so important to have for example the .30 caliber restriction in parts of Southern Ontario (you know its 2016 and it didn't even made much sense half a century ago) or
b) why we still have religious restrictions to hunt on Sundays?
The list goes on and on...

The regulation are indeed very imperfect and you almost need to be a Bay Street lawyer to understand them.Up in my Township in Moose season you can have a loaded gun with you while on a road during that hunt,but on the same road in Deer or Elk season you cannot have the gun loaded.

The regulations need to be simplified and updated.

Look as with all rules its because enough people took advantage and a law has been created. Its about preventing abuse where one guy will catch his limit of fish run in "gift" his fish and go out and catch more. Your allowed to keep 1 days limit of fish you can give it away but you can't retain more than 1 limit of fish.

If you can party fish this guy would be a Hero since you can't party fish this guy is a zero.
Must have been a reason he was watching you because really so would I.

Yes there is a reason he is part ot a camp on the lake and him and his group dont want anyone on it...

He also tried to claim it was a no live bait lait yet it wasnt in the regs either...

That only works in an utopian world.

Brutal enforcement and punishment is the only way to change ones mind set.

Well, when I grew up there were guys who were severely beating up their dogs in an effort to knock sense into them. Needless to say, no matter how much beating went on, the dogs didn't learn to reason and didn't seem to understand what their master was yelling at them.
The grotesque part is that those guys never figured out that it wasn't a lack of compliance from their dogs, but lack of understanding. By the way, there were two types of dogs: The ones who just endured the beating and continued on thereafter doing the same thing (just made sure to stay as far away from their master as possible), and those softer ones that never wanted to go hunting again.

If you cant differentiate between party hunting for moose and any sort of fishing then you should stop fishing and hunting altogether

I'm just playing devils advocate. I'm not suggesting we shouldn't allow party hunting for large game. I'm saying if the MNR feels the rules are too complicated for the average angler/hunter they may just simplify them and in so doing exclude some users.

Totally agree with Johny. Plus I'm sure many people on this site missrepresent themselves by claiming Mother Teresa-ish adherance to the written rule - for the sake of appearing environmentally pure.
Now - back to the OP's point - totally agree that Ministry and Conversation officers are doing a fantastic job. In my experience they are dedicated to their responsibility and profession and deserve our utmost respect.
