Youth have more time to complete hunter education while still hunting this fall. Any youth (age 17 and younger) who has completed an online hunter education class will be able to hunt on their own tag, even if they haven’t completed the required in-person field day.

Ontario set to expand areas where dogs can learn to hunt live coyotes in penned areas Ontario wants to expand a licensing regime that allows residents to unleash dogs in an enclosed area to teach them how to hunt captive coyotes, foxes and rabbits. Hunters say there is a growing demand for the dog sport, which is often referred to as training and trialing, while animal advocates call it a cruel practice for the captive prey. The province’s natural resources and forestry minister said the government wants to allow more of the hunting facilities to prevent the sport from moving underground. “These facilities are going to become less and less over time unless we take some level of intervention,” Graydon Smith said in an interview. “The one thing that we also wouldn’t want to see is in the absence of these facilities that dog owners and their handlers are out doing this on other private land or Crown land where there could be unwanted interactions with both people and wildlife.” In Post: 27 November 17:48
