NO , you can't borrow a gun to shoot a deer. You need a license to hunt anything in Ontario. You need to take two courses. PAL which is your firearms acquisition and possession and then apply to RCMP to be given the license. Takes around 3 months. You also need to take your hunter ed course in order apply for your Outdoors card...hunter version. Then you need additional individual tags for each species. I just did all of it....this isn't like america...they dont just let anyone run around with guns in this country.....lol

Actually if he takes the hunting course and gets all his licences he can at arms reach use a gun to hunt. But he must always be arms reach of an 18 plus pal holder.He can also hunt with a bow for anything he holds licence for as long as it's not during a controlled hunt for that species.
