deetch Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Loop holes can be found in any law. Just use common sense, be safe and ask yourself is it really worth it? This variant is very dangerous. Be safe all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Outdoor activities are permitted, just within your our household. Another words you can't hunt with your buddy, most guys hunt turkeys alone anyways. Golf courses are even staying open, but your group has to take separate power carts.

genec Posted April 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Thanks Digger! That means I wont lose out on my hunt, since I do hunt alone on a 320 acre family farm, and you can’t “social distance” any better than that!

Digger Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Wow, 320 acres. That's awesome, wish I had access to that much land to wonder. Go get em and good luck, been seeing birds strutting for a couple weeks already. Hope its a good year, with the mild and basically snow free winter we just had.... 🦃🔫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseslayer Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Just checked OFAH site... The Government of Ontario announced the closure of Crown land camping across the province as part of new measures aimed and curbing the spread of COVID-19. At this time, activities including hunting and fishing remain permitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genec Posted April 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 A lot of the Ft. Erie area got closed for hunting many years ago after 2 idiots were shooting deer in a farmers yard. Now, no discharge of a firearm within 300 M of any building! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The additional restrictions are from the 3 levels of gov't directly. The only ministry with input on the restrictions is health. The MNR will never give you a yes/no on a question about whether you can go other than whether you are within the season or not. This is akin to the Sunday hunting BS. The MNR will not make changes to any regulation to take municipal bylaws into consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
410001661 Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 Turkey hunting will be fine during the lockdown. I have 5 farms to hunt in the Smithville - Dunnville area that need some attention. Great reason to get out of the house and get some exercise with the shotgun smerchly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
