I am looking for information on hunting deer or elk in BC. I am moving to Vancouver Island this summer and don't want to miss out on using my new bow or rifles this season. Please keep in mind I will not be just strictly hunting on the island, whenever possible I hope to venture into the interior and Okanagan areas
 
I assume you have your licence already...you just have to trade it in at the access center and get a BC licence.
Lots of blacktails and black bears on the island. Near imposible to get an elk tag but we all put in anyway.

Check out a very good hunting web site for BC....

www.huntingbc.ca
 
Find out if there is a Rod and Gun club in your area. Excellent way to find hunting/fishing partners.
 
You have to be in B.C. for six months before you qualify to have a hunting licence for big game.

Elk hunting on the Island is a limited entry draw only hunt.

There are some open seasons on the mainland for six-point elk only in some places.

Join that other unmentionable BC site for your Vancouver Island deer questions. The black bear hunting there is fair as well.
 
That site doesnt hold water compared to CGN when it comes to wealth and knowledge.
You have to meet the residency requirements before being deemed a resident and allowed such a lic.
Check it out for yourself though...

You beat me to it!
Full six month residency in BC before you can get a resident hunting licence.

Military on a posting? If that or RCMP, 30 days to meet residency for Hunting, a year for residency for Fishing (same as everyone else, for the fishing).

I forgot about those two important exceptions.
Thanks Trev for pointing/posting those two bits of information.
Now to go back to holding my breath for the Kamloops Sheep draw...
