Never say never boys. All it takes is a anti-gun/anti-hunting urban judge with little or no common sense (there are many) and the next thing you know there is a hault to the deer season until the Ministy of Natural Resources can gather their info and prove that deer are doing fine and a hunting season is needed.
If they haven't actually done a deer count/survey/census then everything could be on hold until they do. I don't know what Ontario does in the way of deer counts, but many jurisdictions do not have any form of remotely accurate data for certain species and just rely on 'guesstimates'.
They say they can't do proper population counts as they do not have the budget. Anti's know this and they use this tactic.......they know if they get the right judge it might fly.
I know there are some good judges, but there are too many that are very far removed and out of touch with the rest of society and how we average people live. Just take a look at some of the sentences handed down for crimes these days and...................is it really too far of a stretch to see the deer season closed until the MNR can prove there are enough deer to warrant a season and that they have a sound management plan????
I am just getting old and jaded, I know, but I really have no faith in the courts any more. If judges and Crown prosecutors had properly used the numerous sections in the Criminal Code in years past and the sentencing options they had available to them, we wouldn't be in the position we are now with the perceived need for firearms control.
