Hunter training shooting Exam

So we should be asked following UK model... ?

How about having your glucose levels checked up and medical inspections and a drug test and fitness test by army officers and hand eye coordination, I'm giving NDP'ers/Liberals new ideas:mad:

Tell me where in this thread anyone said we should follow the UK model.

The first post in this thread compared Europe's and Canada's different approach to hunter education and license requirements.

Obviously the rules are different across Europe but still the general topic here is should Canada be more like Europe in regards to hunting license requirements.
 
I would like to have a reasoned debate about the virtue of an education programme, or something that would work here.
I totally undersrand the reasons behind not wanting mandatory testing.
If folks think they have nothing to
learn and just make ignorant comments about other folks getting on a plane and going back where they came from, then I"m done.
Also if this thread is going to continue, perhaps it should be moved to the hunting forum.
 
Regulation nonsense and childish Eurobashing aside I'd still love to have the (optional) available for further training and perhaps an (optional) mentor system here in BC.

Did I say OPTIONAL enough for some of you? ;)

In my experience on Vancouver Island (since 2002) everyone in the hunting community here is totally out for themselves.
If your not related to someone your SOL as a new hunter.

One could say the exact same thing for another coastal province that has a limited number of ideal hunting spots with forever increasing hunting pressure.
This is not new, nor is it confined to the West Coast of BC. Matter of fact, I think the all too numerous road hunters, pretty much own the Central-Eastern Townships Of Onatrio, from west-east, Mattawa to Hawksbury, and north-south from Kiosk to Winchester.
 
maybe we can liken this to the boaters licence. live in a waterless comunity, do the online testing and become a licenced boater for a fee. now your qualified to come to the coast and go boating. hmm another cash grab.
 
hello,

i came from Europe few years ago and i hunted in different countries.

if the European system is so good and the hunters have a so great voice how come that in England ie they ban the hunting of foxes by horses just one example (hunting tradition should be kept as one day or another it will be yours that they will remove) .... i have a lot more for different countries ...

hunting in most of European are for very rich people not for the blue collars and for that only Canada is great.

now back to the OP England or the British Isles believe that much in that shooting exam that the Ghillie is carrying your gun up to the shooting time ... you should has seen his face when he wanted mine .... they had to find me another estate ....

they believe that much in the training that every two years your local police can deny your rifle license and getting an african caliber is a lovely task where you have to explain to the police officer your reasons .... not talking about handguns there lol ....

i took tests in Norway and Finland too and yes they re great on the paper, but a paper shooter is not a hunter.

i guided too European hunters and they re no different that all of us the only difference is one day they have to proeficient not the next day .... like people taking the driving test and again shooting paper is not shooting at an animal ...

why not going farther and ask the two years training in Germany or some cantons in Switzerland ... the Swiss are coming to France to train and had that paper and the french one is not easy comparing over here but are they better than us, hell no ...

all the best.
 
^France has thier fill of uber stupid laws. Apparently the 'evil pump action shotgun' is banned there, while any and all semi-auto shotguns get a hall pass???

They banned buckshot because thier ignorant hunters kept wounding game because they would pepper big game animals at too far a shooting distance. Okay. A few years later, then they banned the shotgun slug?!?!?! Why so you ask? Again because thier own ignorant hunters kept wounding big game at long range, all too often. Meanwhile just about every other country in the world recognizes an adequate calibre slug shooting shotgun as a viable hunting arm within it's own effective range.

A weird mystery indeed...........
 
NO NO NEVER NO BAD DOG NO NO

This is a terrible idea. I do NOT consent to allowing the gov more leverage on my wallet. I do NOT consent to allowing the government more power to squeeze hunters how they like.

This is grouped in the same brain storm as

1 . turkey course (cash grab) (its a turkey)

2. Boaters license (Joke)

3. Licensing Pets (certain farm animals are exempt what is the difference?)

Reasons for terrible shots are

1. gun ranges are retarded
a) power tripping ranger officers
b) safety to the point it is no longer fun
c) price is outrageous

2. video games giving the illusion one can spray bullets and connect and that leg wounds are fatal.

3. lack of firearm training at early age


On to my next rant
 
they bring back the pump action only with rifled barrel since september 2013.

i never heard about a ban for slug in shotgun for the whole territory, there are some hunting associations that forbidden the slug and shotgun as some the semi auto rifle.
i was in one of those and didnt stay. our last ones were very good and let you do the best and had blood retriever hounds. a brenneke slug at short is efficient on a well armed wild boar even if i prefer a 9,3x62 ...

the buckshot was probihited long time ago everywhere except in Corsica ...

today a big game hunting association is asking and recommending the use of rifle firearm and maybe the confusion is there.

I prefer to be a big boy and address my own hunting skills, rather than have big brother do it.

Judging by all the 'one ragged hole' shooters on here, I wonder where all the poor shooters you're seeing at the range came from?
