Re: Outdoors/Hunting magazines?

Ontario Out of Doors monthly
The Backwoodsman monthly
Sometimes Fur Fish Game
And once in awhile Wooden Boat

I skim a lot of the other outdoor mags at Walmart or Chapters. They usually are not worth buying for the odd good article in them.

Re: Sad story

I believe non natives hunting on reserves have to follow provincial hunting laws. So if bow season wasn't open, Peter Kosid was hunting illegally. BFD. The shooter could have just as easily shot a kid. Fortunately for Stan Jonathan pretty much every thing he did that day was legal. They sure have so...

Re: Sad story

What does it matter what the victim was doing. The shooter, I won't use the term hunter, in this case was shooting from a road lined with houses onto property he didn't have permission to hunt on. Could have just as easily been the land owner or a person out for a walk that was killed.

Re: MNR Meeting

The point I think we might be missing is this. The ledger system was in place before C-68. That and the LAW that supported it are gone. The new requirement for records keeping is being pushed on the dealers by the CFO of Ontario. He is a Supt with the OPP. Nobody else the least bit uncomfortable wit...

Re: MNR Meeting

If I remember correctly, the provision for the ledger system was superseded by Bill C-68 and the registry. When the registry was abolished the government did not reinstated that provision. There is not I believe any "legal" requirement for a seller of firearms to record who he sells what t...

Re: MNR Meeting

This was the way it was prior to C-68. The dealer kept a record of who bought what. Not sure what good it was then. And not sure what good having dusty ledgers of who bought what will be now? Unless? When the gun registry was brought in, our dear friends in Quebec added their own twist. When you bou...

Re: Just got off phone with MNR.

And for the record I was wrong/out of date when I posted this, OldSkool » Wed Jun 22, 2011 1:43 pm Crossbows are totally legal for use during Ontario's bowfishing season. The definition of bow and arrow in the regulations includes "all long bows and crossbows" I was reading the 2010 regs a...

MNR response Hello, Thank you for your enquiry. As per page 11 of the 2012 Ontario Fishing Regulations Summary: &qu...
