Nova Scotia hunting....

[Brutus]

A question for the informed Bluenosers here:
The Tobeatic Game Preserve? Is hunting allowed here by the general public, or through hunt clubs, or is it only available through an exclusive hunting lodge bookings????

From what I remember as a kid, hunting was allowed once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, using muzzleloaders and archery gear only.....
Is this no longer permitted???

Cheers

Did a little bit of a google search for you...basically it said that "some" hunting is allowed but they are in the process of retiring hunting activities. Below is the link...it's wikipedia which can be edited by anyone but I think there's some contact info for you if you wanted to look into it further.

There are a lot of changes and new rules going in place on all reserves and wilderness area's in Nova Scotia. I know one is you are not allowed any motorized vehicles in the Tobeatic. I don't follow it to much as there is a lot great area's to hunt in my county.

Yes fellas, I just found Liscomb and Chignecto areas for muzzleloader and bow seasons too!
Nice to know there are alternatives to "open" crown land hunting.
Mind you I have done mostly modern firearms here too. Just one Alberta deer with a bow in early fall, 2002.
All these years out west have spoiled me, so I am looking at the option of quieter/challenging/less congested hunting lands in NS....

PS While on this subject, did not one hunt outfitter offer for a fee, wild boar hunting on a private island just off NS coastline?
Rumors of it operating in the late 80's?

Cheers

Yes there was, not sure if it is still going. It was off of Yarmouth area. Check out "novascotiahunting.com" for lots of info on N.S. hunting.

Best of luck, Wayne
