Road Hunters are poachers!

in regards to people making jackass comments like road hunters are the guys taking up the handicapped parking spots , or road hunting is shooting out of the window of a truck , or road hunters cant hunt or are scared of the bush?????? WTF kind of comments are these? there ignorant uneducated pathetic comments is what they are !
 
No sense gettin mad about it Bones, and I wasn't lieing, I do know guys that won't leave the camp in hunting season or walk down a trail if they gotta seperate from the other hunters. Ya they're wusses but if they can't step one foot into the bush without someone holding their hand do you really think they should be hunting? I think they should be making supper and and I should be able to call them Nancy when I get back from a good days hunt.;) :D
 
Being comfortable in the bush by yourself is a learned skill and it takes alot of practice. Some will never be comfortable alone in the bush. Personall I prefer to hunt by myself and enjoy my own company in the bush. I am proficient with a compass and wouldn't head into the bush without one.

Having said that, when one drops an animal and has to drag it out by ones self it can be a bugger. I pulled my back out last year and let me tell you after the bullet leaves the barrel it is not much fun dragging the animal out of the bush.

When it comes to hunting the bigger animals like moose or elk I would love to drop one on the road but I just ain't that lucky.:(

Sometimes you just get lucky, we tracked this cow for 2 km's through the bush and look where she fell, all we had to do was pull out the bike!

While I agree that road hunting doesn't exude the 'essence' of hunting, as long as no laws are broken (shooting IN the truck, across a road, whatever),

it isn't road hunting if you don't shoot IN the truck
 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

maddog.thats the way our first moose hunt went......spent all day in the bush..end of day headed out..got within sight of my truck..and a cow moose was dropped not 50 yards from it...
now is that road poaching?
 
I've hunted quite a few roads but actually i prefer to hunt toads. Not too pretty but if conditions are just right you can get a mountain equipment co-op day trippper full of them. They don't taste all that good but they're green OK and nobody makes stupid posts about them on CGN so that's all good..:runaway:



:weird:

road hunting is OK .you drive around if the weather is not in your favor and lots a times if there is to many rambos in the bush they push the game on to the roads.I believe in walking and climbing those hillsides,atv's,boats, treestands and whatever it takes to get your game.there are hunters from 13 to 80 year old hunters out there ,so everybody to there own. tresspasser and pouchers will always be there .so you always get those wieners crying that some 13 year old kid shoot and boone&crockett in the middle of the road in the middle of the day.sportsman is what? someone who shoots ameat buck off the road or someone who shoots a trophy deer and takes the horn and alittle of the meat?


Well said...
 
Ontario law says you must be "outside the fences" along any fenced road.
Here's the quote:

You must not discharge firearms from or across any right
of way for public vehicular traffic in any part of Ontario
designated in the Regulations or from or across the
travelled portion in any other area. This does not apply to
an unmaintained right-of-way unless the regulations provide
otherwise. Generally, you are not allowed to have a loaded
firearm between the fences, or if no fences, within eight
metres from the edge of the travelled portion of a right of
way for public vehicular traffic in parts of Ontario as listed in
the Regulations. These regulations apply year round in most
of Ontario south of the French-Mattawa river system
(however, in some areas of southern Ontario, they only apply
during the gun season for deer). Contact an MNR office for
specific information.
 
And in Alberta road laws only apply to public roads, we have hundreds (maybe thousands ) of kilometers of oil lease and logging roads, where those laws don't hold sway. So we're back to the "if it's not illegal, it's not poaching" position again. Why everyone figures that thier two bits worth of thought should be the be all and end all for everyone else is completely beyond me. You think your standards are right for everyone? What are you, a liberal? - dan
