I don't doubt it, but I've never seen one. The 10 rounders are far more prevalent, and commonly used.

You must hunt with expanding ammunition, usually means no military ball or FMJ's. Isn't only soft points though.
There is nothing in Ontario's hunting regs about FMJ not being legal here. AB, on the other hand, states it, but only for "Big Game".

Just use barnes original X bullets. I've seen them pass through 9" of pine and not expand...they are SUPPOSED to expand but.....
As for dog hunting with hill-billy automatics (lever guns)....not my cup of tea but what ever. I'm sure (know) there are fellas that hate jacketed ammo, bolt actions, pump guns, semis.......

LOL, I'd be having veitnam flashbacks, and I've never even been there
You gotta admit, dogs give you a huge advantage. I'd love to be able to use them here, particularily on yotes. A friend that owns a feedlot has an old family picture with three Jed looking dudes, two or three wolfhounds, and a pile of yotes...and ya, they use lever guns (Model 88).
That's awsome LOL
No bashing from me. We push for big bucks and coyotes and extra volume has never cost us. Limited volume on the other hand, has.
One shot one kill hunting, with something standing there......Boring!lol
OP, no FMJ and run your 10 round mags if you want. That's why you had them made right?
That's right +1 for the meat hunters brother can't eat a big set of horns!
Lots of those guys around.

Man things get pretty fricken loud in the bush at times, specially when 8 different deer go past 4 different watchers at the same time. While they're shootin at the does and fawns the bucks comin on the backlash to you the runner who pushed em out in the first place... My hearts poundin now is it November yet?!
I agree I don't buy ammo to save it I buy it to use it! Got nothin against sittin there waitin on a deer I do do it but not real often, results are better and faster when you push the bush. More venison= more meat in the freezer= more money saved through the winter to buy guns
Just wanna clear some things up for people who see the way we hunt as blasphemy. You gotta be way more organized to hunt like this than you do to go sit in a stand, you gotta have your watchers set up strategically, gotta have your runners/doggers on the right lines to get through the bush and hit the right holes to jump the deer out or shoot em before they get out. When a deer does jump you have a max of 3 seconds in a good spot too know where your other runner last barked, too know how close and which direction the watcher closest to you is in, pull your gun up and get on the deer, see where it's goin and pick the holes out too shoot through. No problem right? Go try it.
Nobody "gets it" unless they've been there and tried it.
With a good crew of unselfish guys that know the area, results are pretty great. By far my favorite way to hunt.
I've brought out lots of guys that want to try it, but most of them find it very overwhelming. When they're in the bush and the shooting starts, they think every bullet just missed them lol. Plus, they're lost all the time.
Unselfish is correct, there's always that one guy who tries too hunt for himself when he's spose to be runnin out with the other guys. I know what you mean though you gotta have a good crew who know how to work together too then deer start fallin down all over the place, by far my favorite way to hunt as well... OP you should get together with some folks and try it!

I have had the opportunity to hunt over hounds many years ago in Northern Ontario, and it was quite enjoyable!

Clips? Really?
I'm really surprised so many people actually like this kind of hunting!
Yeah. Really. That's what I was taught to call them, that's what I'll always call them.

Wow Lex, I was raised racist too after a black man murdered one of my family but all of us learned to be more tolerant and accept that skin color does NOT dictate values !
Back to the question about FMJ for hunting in ontario. I vote illegal, at the very least unethical but pretty sure it is banned for big game at the very least. Somebody with more time on their hands please chime in after researching this sh!t.
Cheers

Damn... Sarcasm doesn't carry well over text. I was merely making the point that, just because you were taught something, doesn't mean it's correct. I can't let the whole "magazine vs clip" thing go. It's like when I hear someone say "irregardless"; every fibre of my being cringes.

I don't think you really understood the sarcasm in Lex' post. The internet doesn't convey that very well. He was just trying to get across how stupid the whole "Dis is da way ma granpappy tawt me to do sumtin so's i's always gunno do it dis way and d'ere t'aint nutin u's can du abut it neider!" attitude displayed by the previous poster.
About the ammo, I have the time but i think i'm gonna look at nekkid girls instead. I also think you're wrong and that it is in fact legal. I've seen it used and you'd be surprised at how ethical it can be on deer sized came when used in a full power cartridge. Someone will settle this by posting up the info at some point and we'll both have been able to spend more time doing something more important than argueing about it online. In the end it'll be a win-win for us both.
Effin eh Cotton it's my preferred way as well not a huge fan of waiting.
Can't man too far back in the sticks for times to change now.

Have we met? How do you know how I talk? Cause that's what I sound like and yeah, that is how my Grandpappy taught me. He also raised me and recently passed away so I'd appreciate it if you'd leave him outta it when you're tryin to make me look like a idiot. I don't care what you say I am but don't mention him as part of it.
