Question came up at a meeting that a photo copy of a migratory bird permit instead of the orignal can be carried while hunting migratory birds. The back of the permit states "this permit must be carried", but a friend was given a signed note by a CO saying this was OK. I have been doing this since 1986 and I been checked while hunting without a problem. The MNR information line attendent said first its Federal and not Provincial and after being questioned on who enforces it, later said it is not acceptable. I can not get in touch with enforcement office, too busy to answer phone told by machine to call back and back and back. Anyone else heard this?
