Then you have to outlaw live release tournaments.

I can just imagine how the rule would be written to cover release where you caught it.

No just the ones where the fish are weighed  at a grandstand , often not even on the water, catch, weigh or measure, photo  and release at point of capture, tournament anglers are a honest bunch  🤣

why is that

Often it could be a totally different environment than what the fish is acclimatized to, feeding patterns , water conditions. We had a bass tourney years ago out of Port Colborne where some boats ran to Long Point to fish, insane to release those fish at Port at the end of the tourney.

I hate it when people with livewells think it is OK to cull or release fish miles often from where they were originally caught

Was the Zoo board a BBS where you had to dial the number and connect ? I remember being a member of several bulletin board groups back in the 90's and using an Off Line Mail Reader (OLMR) called " BlueWave" so to minimize connection time, especially when long distance, back in the DOS days

They seemed to have disappeared from those grounds since the salvage yard closed. Starting to weed up.

 

Ramey's Bend was where we used to ice fish them with dad sixty plus years ago too

And northern pikeminnows (which are not northern pike and are not minnows) are actually FUN to catch.  But in central BC, where I was catching them, the fish have quite a different name.  I guess political correctness caught up with them, OK fine, but surely to God they could have come up with a better name!!!

For a while I thought when people said there were Long Tailed Ducks down at the lake they were talking about Pintails, same political correctness 🙄

I guess they better get at building some generating stations to charge these batteries. I know I won't be able to afford the gas to do it with my 2200 Honda.

Sure would make for a nice quiet ride to Toronto from here. As long as they don't make the seats smaller than the current Dash 8's

Doesn't using a fossil fueled generator kind of defeat the purpose of an electric motor, please think of the environment 🙄

One of the very first albums I bought was Jeff Beck " Truth " in 1966 with a young Rod Stewart on vocals , he had a very unique and never copied style , R.I.P.

story says he was without a license. "...pled guilty to unlawfully hunting big game without a licence..."

I read that as he had a valid moose license , just did not have the cow sticker, you have to apply to a lottery for adult tags. The licence you buy is valid for calves only, same as deer, the deer licence you buy is a bucks only licence, apply in the lottery for a doe sticker. 

Ok, the headline is a bit misleading, he had a license but not a cow tag, probably a case of mistaken identification, often a cow will have a calf with her in the fall season, he might have seen the legal calf , it disappeared briefly and the cow appeared he shot it thinking it was the calf, realized his mistake and abandoned it rather than call a C.O. and confess to his mistake. It is not like he just shot a moose for thrills and let it lay. In that scenario I say about right

very basic woodworking skills here but I found improvised mill to all the DIY jigs and methods used fascinating 

The media is also seeing the stupidity of my situation https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/what-kind-of-idiot-would-use-me-for-a-crime-inside-the-thoughts-of-the-ruger-no-1/ar-AA14RarP?cvid=be89077ca48c40ca8fa1ce865ffe393a

Hide it till the conservatives get back in power

Don't tell anyone but I never registered any long guns 🤣

the list https://firearmrights.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/the-list.pdf

I've followed this fellow on youtube for quite some time and always a reliable source of info, this appeared just a few moment after my original post 

I thought I was OK with the latest gun grab as I had no mag fed semi autos, WRONG !!,  some how the classy SINGLE SHOT Ruger No.1 made the list, Just checking out market value of my somewhat rare .218 Bee. Seems because the rifle is also available in .460 Weatherby Mag which along with the .50 cals surpass a certain level of muzzle energy that the Lunatics running the show deem them destructive devices or some nonsense rather than firearms. Anyone with some knowledge of firearms knows a .218 Bee is one of the lowest powered centerfire cartridges out there but gets caught up in this boon doogle.   Wonder if I will get a fair market value if I am so stupid to turn it in 

Rarely listen to the Beatles, the Stones stand the test of time far better for me, this one get a regular rotation in my playlist, Mick is superb on harp 

These guys are Scottish, whodda thunk  

Remember 

Just saw this, never seen a ten before, guess it's a new Ontario Record if caught in Ontario waters, haven't found any more info on the tank 

Saw this one on a Niagara forum, believe it was caught Saturday night in the Fort Erie/ Crystal Beach area walleye trolling 

So vote to protect your right to fish would be OK, but since it is about firearms , it becomes political ?? anyone else see a double standard here ?  There is no party endorsement in the ads I see to make it politically biased

What is wrong with encouraging people to vote to protect their hobby, it is not party specific
