Hunting with black rifles and semis. Who here does?

I just returned from a bear hunt. I didn't get a chance to take the bear I wanted as mother nature and the trip to timmins hospital to stitch up my hunting partner caused me to miss time in the stand. I did manage to get a small bear 15 yards in front of my newbie buddy and he dropped the hammer of his 32 sp
After boning out the bear I packed the chest cavity full of the extra fat and trimmings and draped the hide over the remains. I backed off 40 paces and fired two 115 gr hollow point 9 mm rounds from my just right carbine. One aimed thru the fat filled rib cage and the other directed at the spine. Both rounds zipped thru completely and buried 2-3" into the sand on the offside. The rib shot exit was the size of a quarter while the spine shot pulverized an inch path thru the spine and still ripped thru the offside hide and into the sand. Expansion was beautiful as both bullets pulled backed forming copper jacketed balls. I haven't gotten around to washing out the sand and weighing them yet but I was pleasantly surprised. I wouldn't hunt bear with my just right but it's nice to know what it's capable of while grouse hunting with it. Which it is great at Btw. I never had an opportunity to take take a wolf with it yet but I know it will get it done
 
Far be it from me to dis' anyone utilizing a 9mm in long gun to take any big game within effective range.
I myself often carry a Springfield M6 scout combo gun and IF close enough, I would not hesitate to harvest a coyote or wolf with that hornet chambering.

I imagine Lands & Forests officers would give you quite a hassle until you could prove what you had. It would probably be a PITA.

it comes with it's firearms reference table document .... with every rifle. No pain in the *ss required.
It's a nonrestricted hunting rifle, nothing more, nothing less.

The onus is on them to prove you are guilty of something. Now with hunting licenses being purely online they have to have working computers with them. They can run the serial number and get the status of the rifle, frt#, etc just the same as checking to see you have a valid hunting license
 
I would trust CO's to have real knowledge of firearms, as much as most LEO's. If and when i pickup a BCL102, I would carry a RCMP copy of the FRT#.

While they may have to prove it, that really doesn't matter if I am without my property for the usual two years Kanadian courts take to resolve cases.

I did exactly that prior to this year's moose hunt...

hmm, probably still pretty heavy even if I spun a light profile barrel on it.

New barrel, new hand guard, lighter mount/rings & scope, remove brake etc... I will be interested in what guys do to reduce weight...

Agreed. Hence my carrying the FRT in the grip...
