Gun hunting without PAL

When I first starting taking my boys hunting I looked into the rules about them carrying a rifle and although I can't find the exact phrasing it was;
Direct supervision - within normal voice communication distance, no amplified means of communication like radio's or bull horns ect.
they did not give a actual distance but if you can talk at 25 yards without yelling that is fine.
Personally if your friend does not have much firearm experience I would want him right by my side.
 
The guy is actually someone I met on the hunting course but has no PAL (yet). He is military (infantry) so not too worried about firearm experience.

If you don't have a PAL you can't buy OR borrow a firearm. You must have a PAL or POL to be in possession of a firearm. If you only have a POL, the firearm in your possession must be registered to you.
That may change somewhat when the LGR is scrapped.

That has nothing to do with the question asked and the registry has nothing to do with licenses.

You seriously need to reread / read the regulations.....

Remove head, read regs, then read regs.

THEN TRY POSTING ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT THE HE'LL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!

Thanks for playing. Glad you are not advising me...
 
Ok, here is what the instructor said. The only time a person without a PAL can shoot a non-restricted is on a licensed range. (confirmed by his RCMP friend)

"We were also taught that it is 100% illegal to target shoot on crown land, only shooting at what you are hunting is allowed. (also confirmed by his RCMP friend)


Also, semi auto shotguns do not have magazine limits (only semi auto rifles)"



Did you pay money for that information?

Demand that he give it back. The product you were sold is faulty.

I just did my hunting course this weekend and there were several things taught about firearms that were outright stupid/wrong.

My question is, if I go hunting with a hunting license, PAL, and gun can another individual with a hunting license but no PAL come along with me and hunt with my gun (only one gun brought between the two people)?

I'm pretty sure I know the answer but can't find a clear reference.

Ontario

Simple answer is yes. You and your friend may hunt together, assuming you you are both licensed to hunt the particular game you are chasing, You are responsible for the gun. The hunting license gives you the authority to hunt....the gun license gives you the authority to use a gun. However your friend must be properly licensed for the hunting you are doing. Not so long ago there was charges laid against a man and his sons......sons were charged with hunting without a license as they were chasing ducks up river to there waiting father. It was deemed that they were participating in the hunt by driving game.

A badge gives authority to enforce laws but does not certify or guarantee that the holder knows or completely understands them.
 
Another twist to this story, if a hunter chooses to hunt with a flintlock, NO firearms licence is required! I lend my flintlock to first time deer hunters who have not had time to get all their PAL paperwork done before the season. No legal issues in Saskatchewan anyway.
Unfortunately, Ontario seems to add several layers of regulations that the rest of us don't have to deal with.
 
I'm sure this would be covered in your provincial hunting course booklet.
Now I don't recall anything on this exact topic being in the CORE book, I only challenged it though so I did not need to read the entire book.
I took a quick read through the "Laws" section of the CORE book and there is no mention of this. It should be covered in the CFSC handbook though...which I don't recall reading anything on this exact subject in either, and I no longer have my CFSC book in my possession as I passed it on to a friend so he could get his PAL.
I am curious as to what the deal is with this.
