I am taking the Hunters ed course with my brother in law this month. When we go hunting for Geese, is it ok if we both have the right stamps on the license if he borrows a shotgun from me to hunt with? He doesnt have a PAL. I think its legal as long as hes right beside me right? But is it still legal if theres 2 guns and we are both shooting? Any idea? I just wanted to confirm its ok.
 
He can't have his own gun, technically. He can share one with you, but you can carry more than one firearm yourself, as long as only one is loaded at a time...Confused yet?

BTW, maybe we can get a mod to move this to the Hunting forum...:)
 
so from a conservations officer point of view if I have two shotguns, we both have the right hunting licence than its legal if hes borrowing one as long as I am "close" to him during the hunt?

My money says the conservation officer is only gonna care about hunting licenses and applicable tags/hunting regs.

I've never heard of them checking firearms licenses.

So it sounds like im good to go then. Do I have to legally show a PAL or registration to a Conservation officer?

Pretty sure they now have legal powers to arrest you if you can't prove you aren't breaking the law. Kinda like a police officer asking if you have gun lic. and you deciding no to show them.
 
Im going hunting with a couple of cops as well- I just wanted to make sure that im legal so I dont put my buddies in a bad spot. thanks for the info guys.

BTW when I get the course done, I already have an outdoors card for fishing, I get a temporary print out, that I can then use to buy the small games licence online right? So I can use it as a temporary permit until I get mailed a new outdoors card which will have my fishing permit and small games permit on it? I also need a tag licence for the geese right?
 
"...have legal powers to arrest..." CO's have always had powers of arrest. A CO is an LEO.
"...He can share one with you..." That's for 12 to 15 year old Apprentice hunters. Doesn't apply to two licenced, adult hunters.
Your good as long as your 18 or older and your brother-in-law is under your direct and immediate surpervision. Has nothing to do with the Hunting Regs. It's covered by the FA. Read the 'Exceptions' box.

There's no 9 meter rule. Two guys in one blind covers it.
"...need a tag licence for the geese..." You'll both need a Mirgartory Bird licence for geese. You get that at the Post Office. "$8.50 for the Hunting Permit plus $8.50 for the Habitat Stamp. The Habitat Stamp must be affixed to the Hunting Permit in order to make the Permit valid."
Go here for info about the Outdors Card Tax.

i'm pretty sure he must have a h1 hunting license, he must pass the hunter safety and the Canadian firearms saftey course to hunt with a gun in Ontario

page 4 of that pdf

so even though its legal for him to borrow the gun he cant even get a Hunters outdoor card even if hes taken the course unless hes already taken the Gun safety course for the PAL as well? Is this correct?

He just wanted to take the Hunters ed course and borrow my gun when we go hunting.
 
yup thats how it is,you have to provide proof of your pal course to the hunters ed teacher or your h1.

there is a guy down aylmer way who does the pal and hunters ed in one weekend if your brother in law is interested, jim countryman, he is on the ohep website as an instructor. his course is in two weeks.
