The convicted hunted on land without pemission, and due to the vagueries within the act could be prosecuted under it.

How do you figure? Surely if he had a gun then it is armed trespass, aggravated trespass if he has any other kind of weapon?

There is no provision in law for armed tresspass, it does not exsist, there is no such law!

Under the Fire Arms Act Section 20 (2), a person that has any firearm with him enters land without reasonable excuse as a tresspasser.

OK so it is called "Trespass with a firearm", careful you don't cut yourself whilst splitting those hairs.
