Can a non hunter accompanying a hunter in the field?

[Stone Sheep Steve]

If I was not hunting and with someone who was hunting I would simply have a camera with me at all times and no firearm.

One day I might return to BC to act as a packer for my partner. I have a valid PAL and am allowed to pack a firearm in the bush for self defence. IMO I’d be a fool not to pack a firearm in the mountains of northern BC with meat on my back and not pack a firearm. Now, I’m sure a shotgun or open sight 45-70 might draw less of a possible problem but I’ll be packing something regardless.

This will be your good friend. Very unlikely any CO would consider this a hunting firearm. You “could” hunt with it, but why would you? I have one as a “truck/camp gun”. For the money, you can’t go wrong.
