Q: I was told it is illegal to leave decoys in a field while not hunting, such as leaving them out after an evening hunt for the next morning, on private property. Is this true?
Jim Waslowski, Victoria Harbour
A: There are no rules about placing decoys or leaving decoys out overnight, as long as the occupier of the property is okay with it.
