Ask a CO: Hunting ducks and geese from a motorboat

Q: What are the rules when it comes to hunting ducks and geese from a motorboat?

Gord Church, Sauble Beach

A: Provincial rules include requiring a small game licence and not having a loaded firearm in, or discharge a firearm from, the motorboat, unless the motor has been turned off and any motion derived from the use of the motor has ceased (as per requirements under the federal Migratory Birds Regulations). For other rules about hunting ducks and geese, please contact the Canadian Wildlife Service.
