Canadian question

Long story short I'm headed north of the border this May to get in one last hunt. Ontario regulations say #7 shot or larger. Is this actually enforced or do the wardens up there have enough sense to know #9 tss is more than capable? I know back when a few states we hunted had those rules nobody ever asked the question. Not really interested in loading up any 7's but will if it's  strictly enforced. Thanks for any replies.

Having dealt with Canadian game wardens on a fly in fishing trip, I would follow the rules exactly.  They checked our camp and boats for daily and possession limits.  We were 200 miles from the nearest road and only camp on the lake. They came in by float plane.

Canadian CO's are very much by the book.

Isn't a 9 upside down a 6

I guess it depends on how far you went in school or how much you had to drink.
I know the difference because I'm Edgeamacated seeing how I went through 6th grade 3 times!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, tired, beat, thoroughly used up and totally worn out from chasing turkeys and loudly proclaiming; "WOW -- What a Ride!"

I can tell you getting strip searched in Canada is no fun.

Oh Gawd! That's a vision I wont be able to get out of my head.

If your referring to that North Woods Law incident, I'm sure the statutes of limitations has kicked in by now

If you hand load your shells, I'm pretty sure you can get around with it very easily... Just load 9's in some factory looking 7's or greater shell and how could they know... Anyways, will you really be checked by someone...?
