    Vancouver area is not lacking in ranges.. Well, if you live IN Vancouver maybe. If your a bit east of that, its fine. There are ranges in Coquitlam, PoCo, Pitt Meadows, Mission, Langley, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack. Also a shotgun club in Richmond I think...

    In Vancouver, you need to be aware of the no-discharge bylaws, and no shooting areas. Basically you need to be East of Mission on the north side of the fraser, and east of Chilliwack on the south side of the Fraser. But get more detailed info on where ever you plan to go.

    You have to get pretty far from Vancouver before you get to any parks you can hunt in...

    I have never had a issue with packing a firearm in the bush without a valid hunting licence , outside of any hunting season . ( it seems to me if I was doing this in Ontario I would be charged with poaching or attempted poaching or some other bull**it ) .

    the last time I ran into anyone in the bush was a couple federal fisheries guys and they didn't even mention a thing about the rifle sitting on my quad .
    most parks in ontario don't allow you to carry a firearm, but crown land is a little different. i have never been stopped by any MNR for just plinking of that matter and yes i have come across a couple before, even in an off hunting season. don't assume your going to be charged.
