Waiver of Restrictions on Baiting, and Methods of Taking Game Baiting for Waterfowl

Persons⁴ may hunt or kill game of the family Anatidae (waterfowl) during the open season for game in all Fish and Game Regions where food has been cast, thrown, placed or planted, either during the current open season for game, the thirty (30) days immediately prior to the season or any other time during the year.

Magazine Shotguns – unpinned magazine shotguns can be used in all regions

Persons⁵ may hunt or kill game birds, as specified, in all Fish and Game Regions with any unpinned magazine shotgun of a calibre 12 gauge or less, which includes magazine extensions.

Use of Lead Shot Prohibited

The use of lead shot for the hunting of game with guns of a calibre 12 gauge over the following wetlands is prohibited, but non-toxic alternative shot may be used including steel. (NB: At this stage of the transition, hunters may continue to use lead shot in guns of a calibre less than 12 gauge due the difficulty in obtaining non-toxic shot for smaller calibre guns. No decisions have been made yet on whether this exemption will be approved for future years.)
