Nord, I agree with the your ideal about fish cops we have had about five different encounters with the OPP in the ten years we have been going caribou hunting, two stand out the most:
1. we were up past the dam hunting, riding snowmobiles with with our guns loaded six of us, a five hundred dollar fine each they let us off with a warning.
2. Coming back one year OPP were doing road checks/blocks it was about 2:00 in the morning Six OPP, three cop cars and one flat bed tow truck. we were stooped the guys were all business they ask us for our hunting license, gun permit, we gave them what they ask for, I ask the officer if they wanted our passports his response was if I ask for your passports you are in trouble. ten minutes of questioning & checking our animals we were on our way.
With that said this was the first year in ten years we didn't go caribou hunting. Our group didn't agree with the what we felt was a large rate increase at the Marge ...
So we went moose hunting in October we all tagged out , As for me I miss the caribou hunt it gets in your blood.
Remember life is short focus on the good times and let go of the bad ... Merry Christmas
