Ignore the negative comments......... There are always smart a**es ready to cause trouble!
We even take our son along & he is 9. We just dress him up in blaze orange... The tricky part is keeping him quiet!!!! Best of luck!

Cause some say I cannot
I'd suggest reading the hunting regs yourself if in doubt. Your sources obviously have no clue.
Yes it is perfectly legal for your friend to come along, so long as he is not in possession of a firearm and does not intend to capture the animals you see live or kill them.
depends
I know here in ontario it is legal but he cannot participate in any way in the "hunt".
He cant push or be part of the drive. He could sit with you or whatever but as long as he is not benifiting any one in there chances on getting a big guy!
That being said the CO's i have spoken with won't realy charge you but they will give you a talking to if he is part of the drive!
I have also heard that one CO here was pressing charges. I think that he was being a jerk. not the norm but it is possible.
So yes it is legal to sit and not legal to be part of a drive but has the small posiblitiy of getting fined or at least a talking to if caught.

It isn't a stupid question.

HUNTIN
Includes lying in wait for, searching for, being on the trail of, pursuing, chasing or shooting at wildlife, whether or not the wildlife is killed, injured, captured or harassed. You need a hunting licence to do any of these things, except where the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act states otherwise.
The part of lying in wait is the one in my view that is questionable. But the fact remains is what C.O. do you incounter in the woods that would charge you and what judge to hear your case.

I guess i stand corrected!
It always bothers me when ths subject comes up.
The whole concept that you can't take someone with you, that it's up to a CO's discretion if you take your son out to introduce him to the sport.
Shameful what some bean counters do to us.

If they aren't hunting, they aren't waiting. It's called sitting. As long as they aren't spotting game for you, I don't see how someone sitting in the woods is considered hunting.
How about ppl feeding ducks in the park. They throw bread out and wait for the ducks to come in, does that count? Do photographers require a license to take pictures?

My buddy takes his 7 yo boy hunting. I plan on taking my young nephew hunting.
No gun , No license, No chasing game, No problem, guests are just company for the walk, and a great way to introduce the kids to hunting and a healthy way of living.
