Hand gun Hunting

in a heartbeat .i am thinking late 60s was the last of the legal handgun huntingl but i have been wrong before .seems to me piere trudeu put an end to it . some one else feel free to correct me .
 
Absolutely, there are rarely shots over fifty yards where I hunt anyway and it would be a lot nicer to pack in on a long walk.
 
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.

This is why I no longer belong to the Ontario Federation of Anglers and (sometimes) Hunters.
I would like to be able to at least have a hundgun with me while hunting even I am not planning to hunt with it. A firearm is a firearm is a firearm in my books. If I can go out into the woods with a .44 mag lever gun; what is the difference if I take along a .44 mag revolver
 
I would pay $1000 per tag if I was allowed to handgun hunt....just to prove to the LIEBERALS it can be done.

Maybe we should take up a collection on here and buy ALL the LIEBERAL, NDP, and BLOC MPs a subscription to Handgun Hunting Magazine???:eek:
 
This is something I always dreamed of doing after reading a story of an antelope hunt that included a long hard stalk to get in range of the herd without spooking them. The limited range made it akin to black powder hunting with a traditional style musket.

On the farm we often had an old .303 or SKS in the tractor while feeding cattle but they are just to long and would get damaged plus the sights would get get knocked about. I felt that a well tuned 357 Mag with a 8" barrel and LER scope would be more accurate and could be kept in a case under the tractor seat.

Don't even need to repeat how handy a .22 would be when gopher shooting.

Alas this is Canada so it is all pipe dreams.


Because I will never be able to afford to go to Africa, my dream hunt is to someday handgun hunt wild boar in the USA.
 
A sidearm would be great, it sucks when you have to waste a $5 slug to finish off a deer.

I'm not even a handgun guy, but I would get my restricted if I could hunt with a handgun.
 
Because the recent stopping power thread shows 6 rifle shots not killing a Leopard. I dont want people out there hunting with handguns. LOL.

Protection, sure.

Right tool for the job! Just like I don't want people framing houses with rocks instead of framing hammers.

Why did the OFAH vote against that, aren't they suppose to be on our side?

Prolly cause the vast majority of people cant hit the wide side of a barn with a handgun..
It takes knowledge of trigger control, and discipline, to accurately and lethally hit something past 20 yds.

Thats a good possible reason for it, or maybe it's just because they're owned by the liberals.:(;)

Who said anything about handgun hunting for leopard in Canada?:confused:

Who gives a #### what YOU want? The OP asked who would like to handgun hunt, not who knows what is best for others.:mad: And if someone wants to frame a house with a rock, what business is that of yours?
 
I'm not too concerned about handgun hunting at this point in time. I'm much more concerned with just being able to legally own a handgun in light of whats going on in central Canada these days.

Angry much? Someone needs a nap and their bottle.

Who cares about what I want?

Well the OP asked a question, genius.

What business is that of mine?

Well, it is called a "discussion forum for a reason".

Thanks for coming!

Ever consider that another legitimate use for a handgun would help our cause?:)
