In Colorado there is absolutely no law about possessing any legally possessed firearm on public land outside of any laws a municipal city may have. He can carry around your entire arsenal if he wishes.
I completely agree with you.Exactly, funny how many will role on their own 2nd rights. IMO only, the warden would have to catch a non license holder in the act of shooting an animal to successfully prosecute. Otherwise if questioned "why are you carrying a rifle?", "I'm scared of bears/ dopers/ the dark, non of your damn business would all be acceptable answers, at least that's how it works in free states.

You are absolutely correct, except in this case it is the fact that he is “hunting” not simply carrying a firearm. At least that is how it was explained to me when I was ticketed for carrying game calls in a very similar situation. I can legally carry game calls in the woods anytime I like but it all changes when I tag along on a hunt.

This is odd to me. You said it happened in Canada? Must be a Canadian thing.
People without elk (duck, turkey, etc..) tags carry their own calls and call elk for their partners with tags all the time. Nothing illegal there. If it were, guides would be illegal too.
Hopefully no ones vehicle is capable of going over the speed limit. You COULD speed, so a cop should be able to pull you over and write you a ticket for intent to speed.

I don’t know the Colorado laws myself, but anywhere I’ve hunted guides and calling partners all need to hold a legal hunting license to do so, thought not necessarily a tag.

There is if you're hunting and now you're into arguing whether being on a hunt counts as hunting... I would suggest if you dispense that advice you might want to do so with a caveat. If you cross a warden best case you're looking at a hassle, more than likely a ticket and you'll be paying a lawyer to defend the position you are taking. Do you honestly think otherwise IF you're on a hunt which is what is being discussed? Edit: when I say do you think otherwise I'm asking about what you view the likely outcome to be, not whether you agree with the likely outcome.
Make sure you lead off with “none of your damn business “ tho. Let him know you wanna get those formalities out of the way. Should probably film it for YouTube also so everybody knows you ain’t takin no shit from the man. ��
Anybody else want to weigh in on this? I never knew a caller needed a license or a tag. I always thought it was just the shooter, but I've sure been wrong before.
Just because a person has a keg in their car, doesn't mean that they are DUI, the act is the illegal part.
Just a thought like Gunner said if it's Colorado your buddy could buy a small game license, which are only $56 for NRs and under Chapter W-3 Article 1 #303 you are legally allowed to use "Any rifle or handgun" for hunting of small game mammals or furbearers. There are plenty of seasons that would be legally open then that you could fall under.

Its not always that simple in the eyes of the law, you should be all to familiar with "possession with the intent to distribute" being merely a quantity of a drug w/o any act whatsoever right?
If you are on an hunt you're in an act and now its up to the CPW officer to make the judgment call whether that act is hunting or not and I don't want be in a gray area that someone else gets to decide on and gets expensive for me after they make that decision (fines or lawyer fees). It doesn't matter if a lawyer proves me innocent in the end, the state isn't paying me back for the lawyer... Thus if I was packing out a buddies rifle w/o a tag I'd give him the bolt to ensure there is no credible accusation. My kids aren't quite hunting age but if I don't have a tag when I take them out and I need to carry the gun I'll likely do exactly this. I don't want any credible accusation I'm out hunting on a youth tag or such. Call it cautious if you want but I don't like my fate decided by someone else's interpretation.
