Well seeing as it was brought up, a Native Albertan does not need a fishing licence (but DO have to purchase a Special Fish Harvest Licence for walleye in certian lakes)see page 14 of the guide to spotfishing regulations. BUT THEY DO HAVE TO FOLLOW THE PROVINCIAL SPORTFISHING REGULATIONS. See page 16 of the guide to sportfishing regulations.
Now I wonder how this came about? A native cannot catch a pike if the lake is closed to pike fishing in Alberta but they can shoot a duck flying over the same lake out of duck season.

Note the wink Duff but you are right that First Nations' anglers using rod and reel must have a sportfishing licence......

Too bad I live in Ontario.
Care for the game is everything.

The original poster is talking about Alberta.A non native Albertan might want to check into the Alberta laws before accepting a gift of meat from a native person.While reading through the Alberta Game Warden magazine,it was reported that non natives were fined for accepting game meat from a native person.It was mentioned a few years back in the report on Operation Tamarack.
Did I do wrong then, by giving wild game to an old native friend who cant hunt anymore?
Or how about giving game to my nephew who is half native but too young to hunt yet. is there a difference?...

You are talking about giving game taken under the authority of a sport hunting license,not giving game taken under the guise of subsistence hunting.The two are entirely different situations.There were problems with wild game being taken under the guise of subsistence hunting,then being illegally sold for profit.To avoid prosecution,some people claimed that the game was given as a gift rather than being purchased.To eliminate this defense,laws were passed in some jurisdictions,that prevent non natives from legally accepting gifts of wild meat taken under the guise of subsistence hunting.However one status native can legally give game meat to other status natives,and game taken under the authority of a sport hunting license can legally be given to natives or non natives.
You can always check the Alberta Game Warden site to get more information and verify what I have posted for yourself.Check the archives for the fall 2002 article.

As far as me being blind,we could easily verify that.How about you park your personal vehicle anywhere within 500 yards of me and let me take a shot at it with my rifle of choice.Of course you will need to sign a release to the effect that I am free of any legal responsibility for damages if I should hit it.If you are really confident that I am blind,you could even sit in it. If I really am blind,you should have nothing to worry about?Are you really that confident that I am blind?
