Good news in NB

There is no turkey season in NB? Thats pretty surprising. When I drove through NB this past summer, I saw a crazy amount of birds. I even almost wiped out a whole group of birds crossing the road on two separate occasions while driving from McAdam to Saint John

There are a ton of turkeys in the eastern/southeastern part of the province that have moved in from maine, but until the past few years there were very very few east of the Saint John river. You just happened to drive through the one stretch of highway that has 90% of the provinces turkeys.

I can't wait until they spread further and a season for them opens.

If the province wasn't scared of NBers actually being in the woods, they'd have had a turkey hunt up running years ago. But the more people in the woods, the more people get upset over the pillaging over our natural resources...

It's more like Irving doesn't want more people in the woods getting upset about the sprayed/monoculture replanted wastelands that keep expanding every year

True , but I think a Varmint license is only around 14 bucks for six months , and a small game licence for the other six months gives year around firearm usage for about 30 bucks . That is a lot cheaper than most ranges , and you can shoot on any Crown land . It would be a major improvement for N.B. firearm owners .

I think you will find that you cannot just run around target shooting where ever you want. You can but if any Conservation Officers were to show up to some people shooting targets, might be hard to convince them you are hunting.

Could you post more info on these restrictions? I do recall changes that excluded a bunch of pistol calibers (some of which are probably perfectly reasonable for deer etc) but I'll be honest I don't feel like googling it, I do that sort of thing at work enough and Sask in particular is frustrating me from a work/google perspective lately... Y'all map resources suuuuuck. Lol

Sorry to the OP, not meaning to derail your thread, but am just providing info.

I grew up in NB I remember all those restrictions, having to go to the Natural Resources office in Saint John to get a permit to go target shoot.

I now live in Ontarion for 27 years don't have to get anything. Any day of the week I can go out to a gravel pit or any safe place to shoot and shoot all day any of my guns.
