I'm with BBJ and I don't even hunt with a gun. No way.

I have hunted up there a lot but never in a hunting preserve. Mostly Black Bear and Moose.

I hunt Canada all year long I live in BC but I never hunt game preserves. Public land only.

I could hunt all of those animals on a "preserve" in Texas if I ever decided to. That is a no for me too.

Barebackjack I am curious as to which gun laws?

I think you'll find that not many people on this forum hunt on game preserves. At least I don't and never would. And the Ontario government is in the process right now, eliminating game preserves in this province as they are deemed unethical for sportsmen.

In answer to BareBack Jack...

Handguns have never been allowed in Canada for hunting. Only as a restrictedweapon for target shooting and only by residents. You talk about BS gun laws, you should check out the USA laws for me to come down there and go hunting. They're a lot more strict than ours.

We have to apply to the US Marshall Service to bring a gun in, we're only allowed one box of shells and can't buy anymore while we are there. We must apply 6 months in advance of our hunt and provide a copy of the hunting license for the state and game we're hunting. And the last time I looked you had to apply 6 months in advance and sent $300.00 with it in US currency because they don't do exchange rate down there or accept Canadian currency. Every business and outfitter in Canada accepts American currency and does an exchange. And if the Marshall Service refuses your application, you're SOL and you don't get your money back. And I think if you check, you'll find a lot of the States will not allow you to hunt with a handgun. If you wanta challenge in hunting, use a knife or a long bow, not a 44. Magnum 6 shot revolver with a scope.

When you come to Canada to hunt all you need is a photo ID and a birth certificate, a clear criminal record and $20.00 for each gun you are bringing in (excluding handguns). That seems a lot easier to me.

I would never hunt on a preserve. I only hunt "fair chase animals".

Hey Darkside,
I'm not trying to step on your guys toe's.You can use alongun as a weapon as easy as a pistola.I never said the USA was a piece of cake either.There are laws in some states that are dumb also,but at least I can still own a pistol or two if I wan't.I also never said I was using it for hunting(how about Home protection),you know here in Montana if I wan't I can stroll down the street with my ruger 44 straped to my hip like Clint Eastwood.You know why cause it's not conceeled(sp) and they can't do a darn thing about it,how about you doing that in Canada,you can't why? Cause of B.S gun law.

oh by the way I do use a stick and string,Mathews SB,Bowtech Tribute and a 65# Browning Recurve.

Nope ill never hunt a preserve its just a waste of money when i know where i hunt im guaranteed my animal every year plue its all fair chase which is the only way i hunt up here in Canada.

In response to Bareback Jack Yah its carp that we arent allowed to walk around with guns strapped to waist but i think that most people prefer that cause we have come acustom to no one walking around with guns but you and other people down south have become acustomed to people walking around with guns. Its just the way of life really as for home security a 12gauge works just fine for me.

Nope, I would like to hunt in Canada though.

Come on up we would love to have you.
