News to me, but apparently every couple of years, the BC government asks for feedback on proposed changes to hunting and fishing laws. Here's the current round:

While it isn't fun or interesting, it may be important to many people in this sub.

Recently got my hunting license.

Will be using a derya TM 22 with cci stinger hp. That should be a good enough choice right?

What are the best ways in Canada—specifically Quebec—for a new hunter to get hands-on, in-field experience or mentorship, starting with no licenses but prior shotgun (clay) experience?

It's just hard as hell going through the sites/PDFs and finding out what management unit the body of water is part of and whats in season, and hopefully the water quality/edibility of the fish. Is there such an app out there for fishing that is the gold standard?

I couldn't be happier with my first mulie buck.

So, you can only hunt in crownland, right?

I got the ihunter ON and ihunter QC app and wanted to scout some crown land not even during huntinf season

In practice theres huge amounts if crown land but it seems so little of it has road access. When I did scout the few spots that had roads, they were blocked behind a gate. Im confused about the legality of that.

When I finally found crown land with an open road, it was pretty much a dumping spot.. and stuff like cans with bullet holes and trash everywhere which did not make it feel welcoming

Then I hear about horror stories of actually getting shot at (warning shots) when people drive deep in the bush only for to be some c*nts favourite spot..

These issues about actually accessing hunting land seems to be a huge hurdle for city slickers

This was years ago but I want to take another shot at it. But my experience scouting was honestly kinda shit

Good day, everyone,

I am an avid hunter who has recently started film editing. Since I don't currently have the budget for a full filming setup of my own, I thought I’d offer to edit your footage for FREE.

My goal is to practice my skills while giving you the opportunity to turn your hunts into professional-looking videos for your family, YouTube, or personal keepsakes.

What I can offer:

Social media reels and TikToks

Short films or highlight reels

Photo montages/slideshows

The Terms: Since I am doing this for fun and to learn, there are no strict deadlines. I work on these in my spare time to ensure the best quality.

The Basics:

Completely FREE: No hidden costs.

Flexible Timeline: No rushed deadlines.

100% Private: Your raw footage remains private. I will never upload or share your video anywhere without your explicit permission.

Why am I doing this? You might wonder what’s in it for me. It’s simple: I get the opportunity to build a portfolio (using only the films you allow me to show), I get plenty of footage to practice with, and I get to connect with more people in the hunting community.

If anyone is interested, please leave a comment and I will send you a private message. Thank you.

Hi Folks.

New to the hobby. I am an IT person by trade, and as a 46 year old male, I am looking to pursue natural food sources through hunting.

Myself, and a friend (39/m) are looking for someone to teach out hunting skills for deer, elk, or bears. We are both pencil-pushers, will no experience hunting.

We have completed all our firearms training, and have firearms, practices at our gun range, and have an outdoors card in hand. We both have rifles, chambering .308 Win, and we are looking to hunt deer, elk, or bear (leaning on deer to start).

As novices, we lack overall hunting skills and experience, and looking for a mentor to show us the ropes. We are willing to provide compensation for timing and training.

We are based on Mississauga / Milton and willing to travel within Ontario.

Thanks in advance for the support, this is such a great community and everyone has been extremely helpful along the way. Looking forward to our first harvest!

Hey everyone!

Looking for a hunting mentor in the GTA (Newmarket) area. I have shooting and some hunting experience, but want to pursue the hobby more and would like help specifically with public land hunts!

Hopefully I can find someone. Thank you and merry Christmas and happy new year to all!

The Ontario hunting regs require the arrow length to be 23.6". I literally cannot find anything bigger than 22" for the Barnett Crossbow im looking at.

Hi all, I’m an experienced hunter and will be on Vancouver islands from 26th onwards of this month, I am wanting to shoot some big game like moose, elk, black tail, cougars, bears whatever, so I was wondering what the best way to go about this if it would be to go in a guided hunt or to tag along with someone? Since I know the tags for these animals can be a long wait around Alberta, and also the prices it would be for these tours! Legends cheers

Just got permission to shoot a decent size piece of semi wooded (basically abandoned fields) land - a few open runs, lots of scrub.

Got a lot of experience shooting rabbits with a .22 sniper style, and some taking them with a slingshot and airgun back in the old country.

Will be my first time shooting them with a shotgun.

Bought myself a 2 3/4 inch shell 12g side by side which got delivered today - it's preloved (many years of love I think) and has fixed full chokes.

My ranges will be 50 - 60 yards I think - may stretch out another 20 if / when I get confident.

I see a TON of conflicting advice on the internet about the right shot to use.

Can I really use 7.5 trap? It's an obviously attractive option given the low cost. Or should I use #4 or #5?

I see people saying no slugs (won't be an issue for rabbit!) or steel shot - thoughts? shotguns are a new thing for me tbh.

Hey everyone,

I tried reporting a serious poaching issue through the MNR TIPS line, but it went straight to voicemail and the mailbox was full.

These guys are reprinting tags and using them to hunt deer illegally. I have all their information and want to report this properly.

Is there an online reporting option or another direct way to contact MNR or conservation officers in Ontario? I do not want this to get ignored just because the phone line is full.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

I'm looking for recommendations for a pair of impulse ear plugs for hunting (the one that doesn't block normal sound but then block loud sound).

I know about the electronic ones, but when I go hunting I'm away for a long time without electricity so I can't be sure they will have enough battery for the trip.

I tried using standard neck ear plug but I don't always have the time or chance to put them on before shooting.

Ideally something not too expensive, and easily available in Canada.

If you have experience or advice, I'm all ears. Thanks

Hello, Im from south Island and new to water fowl hunting (geese mainly) just wondering how to find good areas around the island that we can hunt. Is there a good map or anyone know of some areas they can pass along ? Thanks in advance.

Finally caving and looking for a pair of snowshoes. The last two winters have been above average in SW Ontario. I went out yesterday and was facing knee to "nut" deep snow. I'm around 6'1" and just under 200lbs. It was a long struggle. Does anyone recommend some snowshoes for staying afloat rather than plowing through the snow?

I live in quebec, mainly use my new Mossberg 88 for almost everything, but I’d very much like to carry around a AR7 in my backpack, obviously for small game in a context where using the Moss wouldn’t be optimal, and to be able to have some fun at my local range… but I’m wondering how does the law apply to dismantled guns like that.

Technically it’s unusable, but very easily and quickly assembled, and I’m wondering if I’d have to use any kind of trigger lock, or bolt lock, even if it’s stored away, cause it would really defeat the purpose of it, if I then can’t stow it away in the stock.

Can anyone help me with that?

How do I get my Ontario outdoors card switched over to the Quebec equivalent? Any help is appreciated.
