Hand gun Hunting

[machingu]

Who else would like to hunt with a hand gun here.

 

[pc9]

I would take up hunting if we were aloud to hunt with a hand gun

Do a search. I started a thread on this months ago.

And yes, I would love to hunt with handguns, as we used to do before a perfectly good reason why we couldn't was found. I just don't know what that reason is. I don't think anyone here does either.

I would love to hunt with a handgun. I think that hunting deer with a big revolver would be a lot of fun, and I also think that packing a little 22 pistol gopher shooting would be a blast.

 

[22savage]

absolutely

i'm not much of a handgunner, but i would dearly love to be able to pack a .22 revolver to use on grouse while hunting.

In Ontario it was legal till 1979. It was almost legal again in the '90's when the OHA/CSSA had almost convinced the Ontario Minister of Natural Resources to re-instate Handgun Hunting but the OFAH blocked the move.

I don't hunt, but I would like to carry one when I'm in the bush for predator defence.

Just use an antique handgun. Perfectly legal in many Canadian provinces.

 

[BrotherRockeye]

just to be clear-antique handguns are not legal to HUNT with!


I know that's not what you intended Wildbore but just didn't want anyone led astray

I'd totally be game for deer hunting with a big revolver. Where I hunt now its open to both rifle and shotgun but the bush is so thick I just use my 870 with rifled slugs.

I would love to get in to handgun hunting if it were legal..few loop holes though..If your pistol is an "antique" then its legally aloud in the bush. BUT saying that..still not a very nice loop hole. but yeah your not aloud to hunt with it. but it would be nice to have a sidearm in the bush. In general though who wants an antinuqe, I saw an antinuqe revolver that shot 30 cal balls. ofcourse it was black powder but it was still kind of interesting. With antinuqes you dont even need your PAL they dont count enough to need a licence. so you dont need your restrcited.

 

[stubblejumper]

I would love to,but this is Canada.

 

[Onagoth]

Count me in

 

[Smokepole]

Yep.. I'm in.

 

[Gatehouse]

Of course

There are no valid reasons why Canadians should be denied handgun hunting!

 

[pitdogboy]

^ Agreed

 

[cdngunner]

I would really like to be able to dispatch an animal from up close with a handgun.

A 12 guage slug a two feet makes a REAL mess........

 

[Camp Cook]

I have been legally carrying handguns for defense in the bush for over 6 1/2 years now so yes I would like to hunt with them...

I have them with me anyway but I have to pack a rifle along if I intend to hunt really is a load of crap...

 

[superd222]

Absolutely - YES !
