    "Therefore culling would be a reasonable need, recreational shooting probably is not." I am sorry but I fail to see that recreational shooting is not a reasonable use, where done in a safe and appropriate manner and time.

    I don't see it either, but that is not the wording of the act.

    48 Discharging firearm, airgun, pistol, or restricted weapon in or near dwellinghouse or public place
    Every person commits an offence and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months or to a fine not exceeding $3,000 or to both who, without reasonable cause, discharges a firearm, airgun, pistol, or restricted weapon in or near—
    (a) a dwellinghouse; or
    (b) a public place,—
    so as to endanger property or to endanger, annoy, or frighten any person.
