Hunter Program

|
Disabled hunters who receive a
big game licence, shall in the case of a permanently legally blind person,
and may in the case of a permanently mobility impaired person designate at
any one time only one designated shooter to shoot and retrieve the type
and sex of big game animal named on the disabled hunter’s licence
provided that:
|
| |
- the
disabled hunter remains in sight of designated hunter, and
- the
designated shooter possesses the disabled hunter’s big game
licence and tags.
|
|
|
A person designated to shoot
on behalf of a disabled hunter need not keep the disabled hunter in
sight when in pursuit of an animal that has been injured by the licence
holder or designated hunter.
|
|
|
A designated hunter may be
designated by not more than one disabled hunter per season.
|
|
|
A designated hunter means a
resident who, while not prohibited from the courts to possess a firearm
or hold a game licence, and while in possession of his/her own valid
Outdoor Identification Card, is designated by a disabled hunter to shoot
and retrieve the big game animal of the kind and sex named on the
disabled hunter’s licence.
