So you can't walk, without a firearm, with a liscenced hunter in the bush, or on a trail, or in a vehicle if you are suspended? You are now hunting? YOu cannot accompany to help retrieve a downed animal?
Because if the above is the case, a non hunter, not carrying a rifle, is breaking the law by accompanying a liscenced hunter at any time, even in a vehicle, let alone while the other individual is actively hunting. Even a child accompanying and adult.
Both senarios are the same. The accompanying person is not hunting. Period. 100% legal.
Now start pushing bush, another story. Driving a truck around to pick up hunters, grey area.
Drive, walk, sit, stand, dance with a liscenced hunter all you want. Don't carry a gun. You are not hunting.
May be the best remedy to set your friend straight, seeing the enjoyment you're having this season.
