Thats exactly what i thought of, i pictured the headlines and it wasnt prettyultracarry wrote:That sucks. What would suck more is peering her vehicle and having her call the police and saying you are shooting at her. Then loosing your gun and going to jail over $20-39 worth of flying rats.
People do stupid things at least your not one of them.
Next time shut the door on the van if you see her come again get her plate and call the cops and let them know she is harassing you.
We bought some property up north that we are moving to next summer, we are building a coop for homers but right now where i live in my subdivision i dont and cant have a coop so i keep about 15 pigeons in a cage in the garage and go threw them about every week or two, my neighbours would call the police if so much as 1 pigeon was on their property because of me housing them, ask me how i know thisRoostersMom wrote:Get homers, then you don't have to worry about where the birds ended up, they'll beat you home!

Sounds great, i would be interested to see how it works out, thanks...ruthRoostersMom wrote:Ruth,
I'll let you know how it goes, but I am training a "kit" of rollers to use for dog training to "home" back to a dog box. I'm in the early stages right now, but I have high hopes that I'll be able to train these birds to home back to the dog crate so I can take them in a lot of locations. Really I'm doing it as a gift to some friends that do trainings a lot and were complaining that they can't use their homers when they train far away (hundreds of miles). So I did a little research and am working on this group of rollers (apparently, rollers are better for this than homers because they're not so "place" oriented). I'll keep you updated on this!

I don't mind the health care either, but I don't see what one has to do with the other. There is no need to put up with ridiculous private property laws to enjoy free healthe care.

I agree that you should prepare for a return visit. Get them on camera and get a postive ID and a license #.
May I sugest that a total setup might be in order. Close and lock your vehicle, leaving a window open so the person can reach in and unlock it, so that the person cannot just view from outside, but must unlopck and open your vehicle. That is, without question, unlawful entry. Perhaps you can have an old single barrel empty shotgun on top of the pigeon crate so the person must physicaly handle a firearm to open the crate. I am sure that will violate one or more Canadian gun control laws. I understand that having a loaded gun leaning on(or in) a vehicle is illegal so be sure the gun is empty and broken open. If your province has laws against harassing sportspersons, that would be a good one to hit them with also.
If you have a Sportsman's federation or some such reginal hunting and fishing alliance, you might wish to contact them for suggestions, guidance, assistance or publicity. Undoubtedly, such sportsman's organizations have a lawyer or two among their memberships, and perhaps a judge or two. Perhaps even a legislator.
If you can do the same thing the cops do, which is to bury the alleged criminal in a blizzard of legal paper, that might get some press and give some other tree huggers and sanctimonious self righteous animal "protectionists" a bit of pause before they proceed to interfere with other's rights. The person might even be open to a civil action for violating your rights.
When you hit folks in the pocketbook...that gets their attention.

Dont know where you was, but we have deputys follow the laws. Had 2 guys clear out some brush on private land, then they set fire to that brush and burned up a field. They were tickted, and told the laws on hunting here, you need permission on all private land. When someone shoots close to our place, the neighbor down the road calls 911, deputy is soon on the scene, if within 200 yards of someone elses property you need permission or you may get a ticket. Been this way the last 13 years I lived here. Follow the law here, they love to put folks in jail, then charge em for the overnight stay, cost is 50.00 for the lock and bar hotel LOLNever been anywhere before where we could lose tree stands, catch people trespassing, or even hunting your property and have the law say there is nothing they can do bout it.

Agreed charlie technically nothin is free but i will tell you this about the country i live in..we can visit any doctor or specialist, hospital or clinic, we receive cancer treatments, MRI's, Cat scans, Xrays, Ultrasounds, Bone scans, blood/lab work, pretty much everything you can think of at NO COST, yes we pay by paying taxes and yes its 13% but we also as canadians receive what is called a G.S.T (government sales tax) every 3 months in the mail basically averaging out 100 bucks, we receive an O.S.T (ontario sales tax) every 3 months in the mail for average of 300 bucks, we receive H.S.T every 6 months average 200 bucks and we also receive a CHILD TAX CREDIT monthly averaging 200 bucks PER CHILD, so if you have 3 kids you get 600 bucks a month in the mail to help with clothes ect and as a family with 3 kids as an example you get approx 9,000 a year given to you by the government and no its not welfare that is just what our government gives to working families with less that 34,000 income yearly and the less income you make the more these entitlements go up and the more children working folks have the more they get, all those things are for everyone over 18 years of age in this country that makes less than..$34,000 a year which is alot of people entitled so its a pretty good place to live...i have almost my entire family living in the U.S and i can give you story after story that my family goes threw without having health care yet they pay 6, 8 or 10% tax and also have had to take out loans to give birth or receive treatment when they are sick and would rather pay a few cents extra on every dollar to not have a bill when they need medical help..i honestly dont want to debate this situation, but i did make the comment so i have to expect some comments back but i am very passionate about the issue because if not for the "free" health care and owning my own business i would be in the poor house having my 5 children whom 2 have had severe medical issues and it didnt cost me a dime..not 1 single canadian has EVER lost there home because of needing medical treatment and it should be that way period for any human being....jmo......ruthbirddogger wrote:I will take care of myself against the bad people.

Good ideas, but this one would land her in more hot water than the person she is trying to set up. A firearm in an unattended vehicle must be out of sight and either the vehicle or the firearm must be securely locked. So ruth would be the one in violation of the gun control law - and being where she lives they would love to have more examples of gun owner/violators to further the cause.RayGubernat wrote:Perhaps you can have an old single barrel empty shotgun on top of the pigeon crate so the person must physicaly handle a firearm to open the crate.

just kidding...
And at the risk of getting too political and getting this thread locked..... if the system you described up there in Canada ISNT socialistic welfare, then I dont know what is.
True, there are so many gun laws here and they make it nearly impossible for you to even own, sell or buy guns..we went threw so much paper work we almost gave up on owning anyslistoe wrote:Good ideas, but this one would land her in more hot water than the person she is trying to set up.

Actually yes attorneys are free for low income folks making less than $14,400 yearly, or if you are a single mother or father fighting in a custody case and cant afford an attorney they provide you with one its called "legal aide" ...thats funny you say about the gravy and fries, theres also gravy and cheese on fries called "poutine" and its really goodMountaineer wrote:Frustrating I'm sure but...the world undoubtably still spun and you got a nice story out of it, eh?
And no need for the free health care for a pellet in the face....are the attorney costs free up der as well?
Best of luck next trip.
The one thing that always struck me about Canada was gravy on french fries....each to their own I suppose.
