That was a nice bull. I bet your buddy learned a valuable lesson with that dry fire. Must have sucked to be him that day.

He must have been kicking himself in the arse all the way back to the truck.

Would have sucked a lot more if he did shoot and the C.O.s would have come around the corner. :archer1:

I believe this logging/bush road he's on is classified as an unmaintained right of way, which does not make it an infraction. Unless the laws have recently changed and they didn't publish it in the new Regulations issue, or I'm reading it wrong.

Page 21 in the General Regulations section.

If you can drive a truck down it, you will be charged from shooting from a road.I personally met some moose hunters camped by us that did get charged. This is a grey area, and as usual , it is left to discretion of officer. :mooser:

This road appears to be a maintained road.
The regulations (not the summary as already referenced) state:
Quote:
 
PART XI
HUNTING METHODS AND FIREARM RESTRICTIONS

63.  (1)  The geographic areas described in Schedule 1 to Part 8 of Ontario Regulation 663/98 (Area Descriptions) made under the Act are prescribed for the purpose of clause 17 (1) (d) of the Act as parts of Ontario in which it is prohibited to have a loaded firearm in, or discharge a firearm in or across, a right of way for public vehicular traffic. O. Reg. 54/10, s. 17.

(2)  The geographic areas described in Schedule 2 to Part 8 of Ontario Regulation 663/98 (Area Descriptions) made under the Act are prescribed for the purpose of clause 17 (1) (d) of the Act as parts of Ontario in which it is prohibited,

(a) to discharge a firearm in or across a right of way for public vehicular traffic at any time; and

(b) to have a loaded firearm in a right of way for public vehicular traffic during any open season for deer or elk in the geographic areas that is not a season when only bows may be used to hunt deer or elk. O. Reg. 54/10, s. 17; O. Reg. 529/10, s. 8.

(3)  If a right of way is only maintained on a seasonal basis, this section only applies during the period when the right of way is maintained. O. Reg. 54/10, s. 17.

64.  A person shall not, for the purpose of hunting, while in the areas described in Schedule 3 to Part 8 of Ontario Regulation 663/98 (Area Descriptions) made under the Act,

(a) possess a firearm, unless the firearm is unloaded and encased; or

(b) use a firearm. O. Reg. 665/98, s. 64; O. Reg. 54/10, s. 18.

65.  (1)  A person shall not possess a loaded firearm for the purpose of hunting,

(a) on a right of way for public vehicular traffic; or

(b) on land located between a right of way for public vehicular traffic and a fence that demarcates the boundary between the right of way and the adjoining land. O. Reg. 54/10, s. 19 (1).

(2)  If there is no fence, a person shall not possess a loaded firearm for the purpose of hunting in the area that is within eight metres from the edge of the travelled portion of the right of way unless the person is on privately owned property. O. Reg. 665/98, s. 65 (2).


It appears that this road is made "for public vehicular traffic", so the sections 63 through 65 would apply. I do not think it is a discretionary item left to the CO, but an understanding of laws that apply.
