A lot of people don't care and never stopped.

They just went deeper into the woods

Everybody has their own risk profile. Some people think their farm/woods are deep enough that no Feds will show up. But if they ever caught you, they must be okay with those consequences.

I have a full section of land that backs up onto the river, only 1 locked gate to access other than going through my yard which has a lockable gate too, there is a zero percent chance of them coming into my property unless they come by helicopter or river boat, and there are only 4 rcmp for our whole county which is 180km long and about 60km wide

You in central east Alberta, I am looking for people to shoot gophers, they are destroying my hayfields/pastures and I can’t seem to keep up with them

Not even close. I’ve accepted the fact that I’m not going rural anytime soon.

I’m from Calgary, I’d gladly make the drive up if it means we can blast gophers with .22’s, I even got 2-3 friends who would happily make a day out of it
