hunters have an excellent record.
Deaths are higher from well-known
activities, he said.
Noting that hunters must complete
over 20 hours of training and pass
federal and provincial examinations,
Farrant said, “Few recreational
activities require such proof of
competence.”
The issue of trespassing was brought
forward by councillor James
Campbell. “We have one game warden
to cover two counties. I know one guy
who has bought 100 signs and these
will be posted in our area.”
Farrant agreed that trespassing is a
concern and said the Federation does
thousands of mailings to remind its
members that landowners’ permission
must be obtained. “And it is up to the
landowner whether he wants to allow
Sunday hunting as well. He can tell
them any other day, but not Sunday.”
Recognizing that the number of
conservation officers has decreased,
Farratt added that trespassing can be
enforced by other agencies, such as the
OPP.
Dan Bailie of Blyth, presented a
petition signed by hunters and
landowners. He said that he’d only had
one negative response when he asked
for signatures. “I also trap. I can shoot
an animal caught in my trap on a
Sunday, but I can’t shoot it if it’s in a
tree. That’s a little ironic.”
He too stressed that the landowner
has the right to say hunting is not
allowed on his land at any time.
“We’ve got to get tough on the
trespassing issue.”
Deputy-reeve Murray Scott said he
had no problem with the people who
asked to be on his land. “But when I
run into people and they ask who I am
it doesn’t sit well.”
Farrant sympathized adding that the
Federation for its part would continue
to push hunters to ask permission
when entering private property. Also
he said there are permission forms
available through them as well as
information on trespass issues.
Councillor Greg McClinchey noted
that while trespassing is a big issue, it
was not the issue being discussed. “We
need to deal with issues on their own
merits, not cross over.”
McClinchey, who acknowledged
that he is a hunter, also said he had a
concern about the lack of continuity.
“Fifty per cent of Huron County
permits Sunday gun hunting, and the
majority of Bruce County. If I’m on
the north side of County Road 25 I’m
not allowed, but if I’m on the south
side I’m permitted to hunt on
Sundays.”
He also drew attention to another
incongruity. “We can hunt on Sunday,
we can discharge a firearm on Sunday,
but we can’t hunt with a firearm on
Sunday.”
McClinchey added that for some
families Sunday may be the only day a
father and son could have to hunt
together. “I don’t know it’s up to us to
determine what’s a family activity.”
He made a motion to inform the
Ministry of Natural Resourses that
North Huron would allow Sunday gun
hunting. In favour were councillors
Murray Nesbitt and Arnold Taylor.
Opposed were Scott, Campbell and
councillor Archie MacGowan.
“You know what I think when I tell
you the motion is carried,” said reeve
Neil Vincent in breaking the tie.
The change will not go into effect
until next year, “probably in time for
turkey season,” said Farratt.
