I will look into this. We are not advocating any one breaks the law or hunts big game at night. I was told years ago that predator control at night was OK providing it was "safe". This is an area where Federal firearm's control laws, Provincial Game laws and Municipal regulations all have to be complied with. We have to insure we apply the relevant regulation in the correct context

"Except as may be otherwise permitted by the regulations" might be the key part of the legislation just would need to find where in the regulations it is permitted.
I would like to shoot with night vision but after reading the wildlife act it seems the only option was indoors I assumed that the wild life act only covered you if you were hunting or trapping.
Whatever you find John could you please share it here.

The CO's that come into the shop have said that taking predators at night is not a problem, just a person should make any neighbors aware of what is going on so they don't get calls saying someone is jack lighting deer etc. Next time they are in I'll ask them some more about it. It is also different if a farmer is protecting animals from predatory animals, as that falls under a different act again.

Shooting at night is not allowed in BC either, last time I checked the regs anyway.
According to both the MB hunting guide and Trapping guide there is no mention of a situation where regulations would permit night time shooting. Perhaps something somewhere makes note of permitting protection of self and property from wildlife, but I couldn't find it anywhere in either of these guides. I suspect a NRO condoning shooting predators at night would be referring to a situation of this nature, not so much setting up in the middle of a field waiting for a coyote to come in.

•Coyotes can also be removed by a homeowner at anytime in defence of private property or to protect personal safety on land that they own (but not Crown land). Property owners may also use the services of another individual, such as a licenced trapper, to address a particular problem coyote on their property

Most everyone I know of is shooting at night around their yards and corrals etc, so they would fall into the above category. I don't know of anyone setting up on crown land for night hunts.

Took several yotes at night back when my folks had sheep and goats, also skunks and raccoons near the chicken pen.
Is there a statute of limitations on that?? This was at least 8 years ago. Honest
-However, any such removal must be reported within 10 days to a Natural Resource Officer. (I wonder how often this happens).
Sorry to participate in this thread hijacking, just always interesting to discuss and interpret different laws in different provinces. Great looking rifle, hope to own one myself some day.

So I guess discharge at night is legal as long as it is for predator control under the above listed conditions?
I mean I guess this also depends on if you consider "remove" to be "Except as may be otherwise permitted by the regulations"
It would be nice if this is in the Wild life act rather then on the conservation website.
And also this is a good example of a reasonable and lawful use of a suppressor.
