Without being USDA inspected, they cannot be sold or donated to anyone or any organisation. Kinda stupid, eh? Same with any wild game.

Wow, overreacting a little guys?

No not at all. Dont tell us how to react and we wont complain about your seal hunt.

[ridenrain]

That's it. We can feed the homeless with seals.

The problem here is that not enough people go out in the fall and shoot the buggers with their shotguns. Hunting used to keep the population of geese down to a level where they didn't cause problems. Snow geese are so numerous they are destroying their nesting grounds. Spring goose hunts don't draw enough "guns" to make a dent in the populations. Even with possession limits of 60 snow geese and 16 Canada geese not enough people get out and do it. In and about big cities, resident Canada geese populations are also a problem, but try shooting near a big city in the eastern U.S. and its a recipe for being harassed by the PETA nuts, them following you home and picketing your yard.

When's open season for PETA nuts and what's the catch limit?

I agree with you but we haven't actually had governments or a media that approved of hunting for a number of years. In fact, they've been doing everything possible to take guns from Canadians.

OH BS ride. The government has nothing to do with it. The main problem is people living in cities and having no idea where their meat comes from. I have known no one who has been denied access to shotgun ownership unless they had some problem with the law. If you were to be upset with government interference in hunting you would probably be more reasonable if you looked at the price of useful (non-steel) non toxic shotshells.

There probably is a decline in hunting I know the majority of people from my generation aren't really into hunting. I hunted with my father when I was a kid for small game, he still hunts as do most of my uncles etc. But I think its something that's on the decline.

I do know young people who live in the country, mosty of them all have rifles and guns and hunt as well. But I suspect most of them due to work etc will eventually move to the city and leave their rifles at home with the parents.

I have gone two times with my grand daughter and her class (kindergarten and grade 2) to the Saskatoon Catholic School's ecology camp near Blackstrap. Both times hunting came up. In Kg. the class was conducted by a lovely young thing who looked like a PETA staffer. My grand daughter announced to the class that "my grand pa hunts bunnies." I was expecting a scolding from the girl, but she pipes up with, yeah, everyone in my family hunts too. I really like snowshoe hares, but not as much jack rabbits." The next one this year in grade 2 was a bird program with some guy who goes around doing songbird counts and banding Great Horned Owls. He's going along and begins to discuss how much he enjoys hunting for Sandhill Cranes and how good they are to eat. But this is Saskatchewan where it seems everyone is a hunter.

I disagree. Do you think these hunters & fishers are all hicks who only live in the hinterland? How do you think the many hunters who live in big cities like Toronto and Vancouver feel about being told they can no longer keep their own property in their own homes?

Actually ride, my friend, I said:

Nothing about Vancouver or Toronto. My cousins, in Hamilton all hunt (ahh, actually one of the 5 does not...got me there). AND I should ask you, are you saying that hunters in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are hicks??? tisk tisk my boy, tisk tisk.

Ride, if you go back and read the post I made, it was meant to say that you should quit gripping about firearms laws and be more concerned with other stuff like waterfowl hunting becoming too expensive for us ordinary joe's. Of course, you rich guys in the city won't have that problem, eh! Just us hicks.
