    Hiking with a shot gun

    is it legal to hike with a shotgun for bear defence in the middle of summer when its not open season, dont intend on using it unless one was to charge.

    Legal if you have your PAL and Reg cert with you.

    I probably would leave the deer calls and elk scent at home

    In other words, shower before you hike with a shotgun?

    Just stay out of fed and provincial parks with it. They don't like that very much either

    All legal if you carry your registration for that gun and your pal and you are not in a park that disallows you to carry any rifle shotgun..

    Real hunters have no friends! Alls we want from you is where you seen the big buck last year! We don't care about your dog or what you do for a living or how you bake a bloody pie from scratch! Where did you see the buck, Buddy! We don't watch Oprah or shower at a 10 day hunting camp, we eat pork and beans with the knife we gut Deer with,we blow our nose with our fingers and the Regs are used for Toilet Paper! Friends, Ha, isn't that a TV show for Girlie Men???
