SlingShot question rules

After reading through that list it's no wonder people get confused, you can't use a center fire on turkey? Guess it's not powerful enough to kill them? And there is a maximum weight on arrows....who would have thunk it.

The turkey/rifle thing is the fear about someone shooting a decoy with a person fully camouflaged behind it.

The arrow thing you are looking at is the minimum requirement, not the max.

[Knute]

17 (1) A person commits an offence where he hunts
(f) game birds, other than turkey, grouse and ptarmigan, with a rifle

No, he’s not wrong. Happy referenced centerfire rifles. You can only use centerfire rifles for grouse and ptarmigan. Not turkeys.

Further reading by me required�� From the Wildlife Act.
It is an offence:
