    By the way, in no way am I saying this is a great law. Just providing a different perspective.

    Let's say a licenced hunter brings 12 unlicensed friends out to the bush to "share" the experience. They divide up into groups and use radios to keep in contact. The groups of unlicenced people go in search of game, reporting what they see to the guy with the tag(s). The end result is a dead animal.

    Does this activity increase the licenced hunter's chances of success in harvesting an animal? Does this seem "right"?

    What intentions do these unlicenced people have? Certainly not to shoot the animal themselves, but certainly they intend for their actions to result in a dead game animal. No?

    While they are "searching for, chasing, pursuing, following after or on the trail of, stalking, or lying in wait for wildlife or attempting to do any of those things, whether or not the wildlife is then or subsequently wounded, killed or captured:" ... what is their intention? To just look at the animal? No. Their intention is to report this information to the licensed individual so he can attempt to kill the animal. Indirectly, they intend for that animal to be captured or killed, despite not having the means to do so. That's why it is stated in the regs as:

    (a) with intention to capture the wildlife, or
    (b) while in possession of a firearm or other
    weapon

    Granted, this is an extreme example. However, the same conclusions should be reached if it is just a licenced guy and his best bud out for a drive or hike. The same intentions are there.

    No tinfoil here. Just reading the law as it is written. I suspect that if I brought 12 people into the bush to search for animals, a few COs would have an issue with that.

    Why any different if I only bring 1 or 2?

    Cool. While you're at it, ponder this: "the world is run by those who show up".

    I totally agree. We should be able to bring people out there and enjoy the outdoors.

    Here's hoping the COs all read the law the way we'd like them to. Is that enough? Maybe.

    But there's always that new temporary licence for those who have their doubts....

    No one is saying don't bring him along, by all means do, it's not aproblem at all. He'll likely have an awesome time, he just can not help with the hunt in anyway as he's not licensed.
