It’s a good time to go hunting in the Parkland.
Leonard Grey, a hunter safety instructor, based out of Ste. Rose, says there’s lots of wildlife right now.
He shares what seasoned hunters should be aware of before they head out.
“The big thing is rules and regulations change every year, and the hunting guide is put out yearly, and the changes are always in there. They should always read their guide, keep informed because the changes are always happening.”
Hunter Safety Courses are an essential aspect of hunting.
Dauphin Recreation Services is offering a course in November.
Grey says hunter ethics is one of the things taught at every course.
“We want to keep the hunter’s image so that non-hunters aren’t offended. Have it so that hunters can continue hunting for years to come. You want to show responsibility to the animal by one shot clean kill. You want to have respect for the landowners, we don’t trespass. We follow the rules and regulations.”
He says right now there's a lot of wildlife, the bag limits are high and there’s a lot of opportunity for young hunters in the area.
