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..

From what I understand is you have to be able to show your registration if asked, so that would mean yes. I make a copy of all mine and put them on a sheet or two and take them to Staples and get them laminated and cut them into card sized pieces afterward for packing with me. I also write on the copy before laminating which gun it is so I do not have to check serial #'s every time. Then of course I keep the original at home in the safe. I do not think you are allowed to laminate the original, but they can't say anything about you doing that to a copy

I can't find it in the synopsis, but at one time a person who carried a firearm in the "off season" - that is to say for plinking, targets, and protection and not for hunting at all, had to buy a "licence to carry". I think it was $1. Does anyone know if that is still in effect, as it applies to the question?

No.
All you need is your PAL and reg certificate.
Another thing that I do is keep the gun handy, but out of sight as possible. For when you run into other hikers. Just makes things easier for when you run into granola munchers.

I buy the laminating kits from the $ store for my registration copy's. Get about 8 for a $.
