I guess the question is, if passed will this proposed legislation affect common legal hunting methods we currently employ in BC?
I hunt waterfowl out of a layout canoe.
Is the intent "Unless engaged in a legal hunt in accordance with the BC Wildlife Act........a person must not discharge a firearm from a boat."? Either the people that drafted this proposal don't understand current provisions under the BC Wildlife act, or they do.
We shall see but this troubles me. I think waterfowlers need to be concerned.
"boat" means a vessel or other craft in, on or by which a person or thing may be transported or drawn on water
Prohibition against discharging firearm from vehicle or boat
5 A person must not discharge a firearm in, on or from a vehicle or boat.
