I just read over the Ontario regulations and it says there is no "party hunting" allowed for wolves and coyotes. Does this mean my father and I (me with my apprentice hunting license) could not hunt them?
 
depending on where you are theres different reg's up north you need tags and theres a limit of 2 down in southern ont theres no limit

party hunting idk about but i think if you only have a apprentice hunting license you should be ok

you have to skin them and get the pelts tanned as there furbearers

no but i dont see why you cant skunks some of the best small game ive eaten and reccoon is a normally eaten meat

you dont have to do anything with the meat if you dont want but its wasteful not too

you do have to get the hides tanned
 
And if your defense is the fur bearers are a pest and you don't want to bother with the hassle of tanning hides buy a live trap or just leave them alone. Theres nothing ethical about hunting something then leaving it to rot in the bush somewhere.
 
I found a guy by putting up a Kijiji ad... he was willing to pay me 10 bucks a yote and all I had to do was bring him the whole dog... I don't take his money because it would be illegal but I do bring him the yotes as I feel better if someone does something with them....
 
I would have to see where it says I have to have the hides tanned. I would think you could get away with just getting the hide fleshed and dried properly and moving it at the fur auctions or something similar. Any one have any ideas on this?

As long as you ddont let it spoil you are good... But you can't trade firs without appropriate license...
 
You guys are so full of it, it is coming out both your ears. Your time would be better spent reading the actual Fish & Wildlife Act and Hunting regulation 665 for Ontario.

The hunting summary the MNR provides to the public does not reflect the requirement of the ACT...and so here for your perusal are some of the sections.

This is from the ACT.

“furbearing mammal” means a member of a species set out in Schedule 1 or prescribed by the regulations as a species of furbearing mammal; (“mammifère à fourrure”)

Abandonment of meat

36. (1) A hunter or trapper who kills game wildlife other than a furbearing mammal shall not abandon it if its flesh may become unsuitable for human consumption. 2009, c. 33, Sched. 22, s. 2 (18).

Abandonment or spoilage of pelts

36. (3) A hunter or trapper who kills a furbearing mammal shall not abandon the pelt or permit the pelt to be spoiled or destroyed. 1997, c. 41, s. 36 (3).

Schedule 1
FURBEARING MAMMALS


Common Name

Badger, American; Beaver; Bobcat; Coyote; Fisher; Fox, Arctic; Fox, Grey; Fox, Red (all colour phases); Lynx; Marten; Mink; Muskrat; Opossum; Otter; Raccoon; Skunk, Striped; Squirrel, Red; Weasel, Least; Weasel, Long-tailed; Weasel, Short-tailed (Ermine); Wolf


This is from the Regulation 665 for ONT
134. A hunter who is licensed or authorized to kill a furbearing mammal is exempt from subsection 36 (3) of the Act and may abandon a pelt or permit a pelt to be spoiled or destroyed if the pelt is of no commercial value. O. Reg. 665/98, s. 134.

To me this means:
A) I dont have to eat the meat of any animal listed in Sch 1 and can permit it to spoil
B) I can abandon the pelt of any animal in Sch 1 it is has no commercial value.

Perfectly clear.
 
Finally someone with accurate info, thanks Bubba.

There are lots of trappers around that would take them. Find one and ask him. In many cases the hides are ruined due to varmint type bullets so they have no value anyways.
