No when I am driving to where I am going to be hunting, I am transporting myself to that location. I may observe wildlife on my travels and choose to go after them.
In Ontario Snowmobiles, vehicles or boats may not be used for chasing, pursuing, harassing, capturing, injuring or killing any wildlife. So what you are suggesting is illegal in Ontario, and maybe other provinces (I don't know their regs) as I'm sure they have similar regulations.

Its not illegal to drive around looking for deer or other Game in Ontario..unless you're in the Rainy River district...I believe they put in a rule just this year about road hunting...no loaded firearms withing 5 or 10 meters from a road.
 
From the RCMP's own website

Are you or someone you know being STALKED?

Are you afraid for your safety or the safety of someone known to you because of the words or actions of another person?
1. Is someone repeatedly following you or someone known to you from place to place? Repeatedly is more that one time and does not have to be for an extended period of time. The incidents may have occurred during the same day.
2. Is someone repeatedly communicating with you, either directly or indirectly? a.Directly can be by telephone, in person, leaving messages on answering machines, or sending unwanted gifts, notes, letters or e-mails.
b.Indirectly can be by contacting people you know and having messages sent through them or simply by making repeated unwanted inquiries about you.

3. Is someone persistently close by or watching your home or any place where you or anyone known to you live, works, carries on business or happens to be?
4. Have you or any member of your family been threatened by this person?

If you can answer YES to any of these questions you or someone you know may be a victim of CRIMINAL HARASSMENT - STALKING .

After watching the parade of pumpkins (15 minutes from Saskatoon) this past weekend I don't know why it would come as a surprise to anyone that the back roads were going to be stupid busy with road warriors.

I hunt alone now... but back in the day when we had a party and hunted on buddy's land... if we saw a car with someone in blaze cruisin our land we would absolutely follow them... man or woman... thetre isn't enoug info in OP's post to make a decision or have an opinion here....

If I was hunting on private land I would have the owner's permission, and I see no reason to suspect the OP did otherwise. Had strangers in a vehicle acted in an such aggressive manner towards me I would have challenged them to find out what their problem was. If I was satisfied I might even give them a tow to the garage, allowing them to chalk it up to lessons learned.

OP was "road hunting"... driving around looking for game... maybe she had permission maybe she didn't.... maybe the guys in the truck also had permission and didn't know she had permission... maybe the guys in the truck had permission and the OP did not.... who knows... all I am saying is that there is not enough info in op's post to make a decision... to say that teh guys in the truck were wrong or up to no good is pure speculation without the facts....

My point is about what the person said about pursuing wildlife. I just stated what the law said about that for the use of transportation to do just that. When I'm out driving in my truck, I'm just transporting myself, not hunting. If I see something while driving, then my day is just better for it.

Not without getting out of your truck... removing firearm from it's case and being at least 4 meters from the roadway.....

In defence to noneck180, in Saskatchewan, at least where i am. I can drive around all day in my vehicle on the back roads with my rifle right beside me (not loaded), Clip on the dash, and when i see a deer a couple hundred yards into a field, I can just step out of my vehicle and shoot it. As long as I am not shooting across the roadway, I am not breaking the law. But as was posted earlier, we also cannot chase, harass, capture, or shoot from the vehicle. (but we dont have to be off the road.)

Since when do you need permission to drive around on a road (hunting or not)?? If it were my wife and she was on her way home, going for groceries, hunting, or just out for a drive and was followed by a group of people I would have a problem with it as well. They were harassing her either way. If it were your 15 year old daughter or your wife and it was happening in town is that acceptable?? So what makes it ok to do it on a back road because you may or may not be hunting?? Being followed like that is harassing behavior whether or not they intended it to be.

Well In Ontario you cannot discharge a firearm from the legal boundries of the road allowance. But you can do all the same as you described here too. But the big thing you can't do here is hunt from a vehicle. So even if you pulled your truck into a field off the road completely, you cannot be in or on it to hunt (without a special permit for handicapped use). You cannot lean across the hood and use it as a rest. I know a guy who was charged for laying his loaded gun on the front rack of his 4 wheeler.

She wasn't just driving around... she was road hunting.... likely decked out in the same orange as the guys in the truck.... how do you even know that those fellas even knew that it was a woman they were following?....

Your question isn't valid because it didn't happen in town it happened in the sticks....

Like I said, maybe it was their land she was casing all decked out in orange... stopping... glassing a herd as she said... maybe she had no permission and they wanted to let her know that.... we don't have enough info here to point fingers....

Anyone else notice that the OP is long gone?:rolleyes:
Click to expand...

Yeah...LOL... was hoping she would come back and tell us if she had permission for the land she was scouting that herd on.... the fatc that the same thing happened to her husband last year tells me that maybe he taught her his own bad habits of trespassing on other's land... or vice versa

Different trespass laws in SK then ON. If land is not posted in SK then it is open to hunting as licensed hunters, trappers and fishers are exempt from the current trespass legislation (for now). Thus, the popularity of road hunting in SK. Therein lies the problem with the OP complaining about a truck load of drunken thugs following her, they in all likelihood were "hunting" just as she was "hunting".

I think you need to check your regs..your saying it's illegal to hunt using your vehicle for transpotation and spotting?

Taken right out of the regs.

"Hunting includes taking, wounding, killing, chasing, pursuing, worrying, capturing, following after or on the trail of, searching for, shooting at, trapping, setting snares for, stalking or lying in wait for any wildlife, whether or not the wildlife is subsequently captured, wounded or killed."

So even if you are driving around looking for game you are still hunting. Even if you are driving to your spot you are hunting on the way there according to the regs. Also how many of these road hunters follow the rules and dont shoot from the road or along the road.
