Which of the following is NOT a prohibited method of hunting in Ontario?

Using a bow and arrow during open season is permissible and aligns with the regulations set forth by Ontario's hunting laws. The concept of open season indicates that specific game animals can be hunted during certain times of the year, provided that hunters comply with all other hunting regulations. In Ontario, many game species, including deer, can be hunted using a bow and arrow during these designated periods. This method is not only legal but also a widely accepted and traditional form of hunting that allows for a different skill set compared to other methods.

Meanwhile, the other choices represent prohibited methods under the law because they either involve hunting during an illegal timeframe or utilize equipment and tactics that are not allowed to ensure ethical practices and sustainability in wildlife management.
