First Nations Pit Lamping?

Pretty sure they can and do anything they want without any repercussions.

When it comes to fish and wildlife they can for sure...

Just a legal question here,
Are native folk actually allowed to discharge their firearm at night?

Pretty sure it's legal for everyone to discharge a firearm at night.

Depends on the purpose for other legalities though.

I want all members to look up the word Intention. This word will open the door for future problems to be understood in a clearer way.

Anybody can discharge a firearm at night as long as it’s done safely

[rocksteady]

Anytime FN want to do whatever they want, when they are xaught, they say they "live by their traditional rules and di not recognize the white mans law"..

Seems to work well for them every time.

If the issue is pressed, they push it back as a constitutional challenge.

Knew a guy who lost a year hunting b/c another camp reported shots at night to the CO. As far as I know he was shooting safely in his camp, but the other camp did not like it. But there may be more to the story from what he told me.

When we were at bull river a few years ago you would have heard shots from our camp on almost every night as the grizz would not leave our meat pole alone....my hunting partner was the one wasting all my 12 gauge slugs every night....after we lost one of our deer the 2nd night there, we set up a trail cam in camp as well as a propane tree with lights on all night...we also tied a perimeter rope with cans attached as well as a step ladder tied to the meat with a bucket full of cans on top that would spill if anything touched our meat...by the end of the 10 day trip we had 6 videos that almost all started with the dog barking in the background and ending with a couple of shotgun blasts......If I was a bit more fearful of bears I would have been able to get enough adrenaline going to drag my ass out of bed and shoot that *******....heheheh

I used hunt the Merrit area years ago, above Peter Hope, and before all the logging.
Camped near the big powerlines, as that was really the only large open area at the time, and deer would often cross or
hang out on the edges.
Lost count how many times I saw trucks, with them driving along, using their high powered lamps, and a
bed mattress on the roof of the pickups, 2 guys standing on the back, rifles sitting on the mattress, ready to shoot,
and 2 guys inside the cab.
Friends who had cabins in the area tried to report them, all of them.
Each time they would call it in, the 1st thing the CO asked was:
"Are they Native"?? (which we knew they were, as we would see the same trucks in the daytime)
When you answered "yes". they just said, "we are not coming"!

Total BS, nothing "Aboriginal" about that!, "traditionally speaking".
How sporting!?, and very "disrespectful"!? that is.
Should be ashamed to be called anything but a bunch of "poachers".

The aboriginal hunters do not follow the normal rules about try to harvest animals in a "sporting manner" cause they have the ace up the sleeve.... "sustenance hunting"

YEs you a re completely right on the term "sustenance hunting", and that would be/is their argument for justification.
BUT, it still is under the term "traditional"

We have given them (should I say our government who are all lawyers), too many "term" for them to get away with
everything.

Still not Traditional, and still not "Fair Chase".
