There were some outfitters in southern Ontario that tried that stuff at one time and in the off season,their camps got hit by "lightning".

Keep your head low and watch your six is the best advise I can give to you friend.
Edit: I should add not everyone was this way. The best rabbit hunt I ever attended was an invite only from a retired couple in rural edge of Guysbourough County.
My best friend and his navy father pulled me into thier circle, from the gracious attitude of a WW2 flight engineer of C47 Dakota's. These rabbit flush days we're pre-coyote era.

Yes..... but they are the best, kindest people you'd ever want to meet...
Let me quote Benjamin Franklin on his thoughts of the USA selecting the bald eagle as it's National Bird,, "For my own part, I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly. "
Is there an emoji for "drop the mic"?

I live on Van Isle. We call it the "edge of the world" We don't have a police presence but they do show up
from time to time. The nearest cop is about 1.5 hrs away. We have drug dealing and murder.
We also have a thing called "Renfrew Justice" I have seen it and it does work! Real good.

Now that’s funny ��
No rednecks in Ontario? ..... hmmmm
There’s lots of rednecks in Ontario.
But if a group of them threatened a group of hunters for “trespassing “ on crown land, the OPP have the guts to handle it.

Port Renfrew is a logger / hippie / native clash point, fortunately there’s more than enough THC around nobody really puts their back into it.
That is true. For the most part. A lot of it I'll chalk up to the small population - here you can actually get to know people you run into without it being overwhelming. In Toronto if I tried to get to know everyone who lived within 1km of me it would be like four thousand people. Here, if I want to find someone you don't text or call, you just drop by their boat yard. Everything good out here comes from good relationships and word of mouth.
It's not that people in TO aren't good and kind to the people they know, it's that in a city with a population 3x that of the Atlantic provinces as a whole, you can't possibly care about or get involved with everyone. It would take up your whole day. Within my social group in TO everyone was as good and kind as anyone is on the east coast. And I say that having elected to move out this way because I like the people and the environment here.
It certainly is a much better lifestyle though, no comparison. There's no way I could have the lifestyle that I do out here in TO - having your boat anchored just off your front lawn and going hunting after a ten minute drive is pretty sweet.

Hey - I like to count myself as one of those rednecks.
But, yeah, the crown lands out here are bad. No comparison to ON. I can walk down any old logging trail and find junk left in the woods. Big old piles of garbage and just all sorts of crap left around.
I was helping my mum move into her retirement property out here, and started checking out the old barn behind the house. I found a pile of old broken glass and scrap metal, and this mysterious hill right up against the barn. I started digging. I started unearthing what I thought was sandbags, until I saw the blue flakes in the "sand."
Someone had left a literal six foot high mountain of old ####in' kitty litter in their backyard. Despite the fact that they could have thrown it out for free by carrying it another hundred yards to the street. No one seemed surprised by that, and literally both construction companies I called to dig out the trash and cart it away were like "well, why don't you just dump topsoil on it like everyone else does?"
Poaching is bananas here. There's no comparison to that in ON either. The freaking ice cream shack on the edge of town had a bullet go through it one night. And it's 100m from the big mall with the Sobeys. When I was joking that in could fill my deer tag from the kitchen window, the universal response was "yeah... well... why wouldn't you?"

I stole it. I heard it from a Sask leasehand and it was Hutterites.
Cheers. So far it's been great - made plenty of great new friends, and identified most of the skids who I want to keep clear of me. The easiest way was driving around town just after I got here and asking to buy meth - that'll tell you who's who awfully quickly.
The vast vast majority of people out here are far more enjoyable to talk to than anyone back "home." Small talk based around diesel engine maintenance and fishing and hunting is totally my speed.
