Ontario Crow hunting+(pump) shotgun magazine capacity...?

[.22LRGUY]

Hey guys~anybody know the definitive answer? I'm running my 12ga. autoloader as is (2+1) but contemplating adding a pump to the collection...and pondering the options. Would love to have a modern, interchangeable choke-tube 12ga. and looking for one more reason to buy one.

Thanks for taking a moment to reply.

Max of 2 in the mag for all shotguns, all the time, for any hunting.

In Ontario, it does not matter what you are hunting with a shotgun, even if its deer with slugs, its two in the mag plus one in the chamber, max.

All the provinces are the same for shotgun. 2 + 1

 

[iceman2]

In quebec 2+1 for migratory birds but anything goes for small game and deer etc.

 

[bluearmy]

sorry when is crow in season in SW Ontario?

 

[dutchhunter]

all year with no limits .D

 

[greatwhite]

Curious where it says that as I know alot of people who hunt there and they all say it is 2+1 even in Quebec.

In quebec 2+1 for migratory birds but anything goes for small game and deer etc.

Mmm...dark meat.

No mag capacity limits for shooting crows in Manitoba. Last time I was approached by a NRO while shooting crows he was more interested in my caller. Said he was in the field for 14 years and had never run into anybody culling crows.

In BC 2+1 only applies to migratory birds

Hint.

Do not compare Bantario hunting regulations with the Western provinces.

2+1 for migratory only in Alberta as well.

anything else no limit!

Hmm...well, this is why I ask the question. I had read that for migratory, 2+1 for sure in Ontario. Crows don't fall into that category, so, looking for where the regs (Ontario) say you're limited to 2+1 for shooting them. Talking pump guns only for the sake of this discussion. I suppose that you'd have some explaining to do IF a CO saw your crow decoys, crow calls, then somehow thought you might be duck hunting. I'm sticking to 2+1 until I can get a definitive answer though.

Did you contact the Natural Resources department (or whomever employs the wardens in Ontario) and ask for a clairification?

Not yet, still mining for info. in the regs online. If I come-up empty handed and still feel inspired...I will call.

Like I said. 2 in the mag max. P.25 of the 2014 reg summary, authority is sec 19 of the FWCA... Is it that hard to find?

 

[brybenn]

3 shells max for crow shooting in Ontario. Final answer

 

[Waterfowler]

Agreed. Definite answer. Max 3 for any hunting in ontario.
