Can anybody tell me the legal, not ethical or otherwise, just legal responsibilities a BC hunter has after downing a coyote please?
There's no bag limit. There's no closed season. Can you leave em where they lie, legally speaking only?
Thanks for your input. I don't want this to be some morally driven thread of what's right and what's not to some...I just wanna know the legal responsibilities/requirements of post kill
Thanks for your input

Ummm so where we at legally again boys?

BC Regs are unsearchable, incomprehensible and written by lawyers that have no idea which end the bullet comes out.
Merely looking for facts, not rules ur Dad taught you. I get the the whole you shoot it, you eat it thing...Cept yotes

Yeah sure...in Sask. maybe.

But, first off one should check the hunting regs first and if you dont have a lic. then you can't shoot it.

(ok, I didnt read all the posts , but having read will edit here)
What ever do you mean the BC Hunting Regs are unsearchable?
Pretty easy to type it in google and get the results.

Do you have a Valid BC Hunter Number Card and a Valid BC Hunting Lic??

With either of those one would be very fluent in searching for the regs , reading the regs and following the regs as outlines in the Synopsis.

Now that it is getting late in the season the animals will be shedding their winter coat , rendering the hide worth less than if it where in December and lots of snow on the ground.

Open Season Sept. 10 - June 15 NBL...No Bag Limit, but you need a hunting lic.
And depending where you are in the Lowermainland you may require a Fraser Valley Special Areas Permit too.

Flhtcui, thanks for ur input. Yes, licensed, hunter number for almost 50 yrs etc. Searches of these docs are ambiguous and non conclusive, thus the post. Yes, I can phone a CO or alike, just thought I'd put it out there for those with knowledge first is all.
Almost feel remorseful for asking for guidance on this forum. I'm not trying to rewrite law or alike...heck if it's that easy, you google the regs and post your findings in comprehensible format please! Just finished a coyote gun build as they are dessimating the deer pop in my location of choice and looking for regs on thinning out their aggressive abolishment of the deer pop

Nothing realy ambiguous in the BC regs as they relate to the topic at hand.

Furbearing animal - means a fox, beaver, black bear, marten, fisher, lynx, bobcat, mink, muskrat, river otter, raccoon, striped and spotted skunk, northern flying squirrel, red and Douglas’ squirrel, ermine, weasel, wolverine, wolf or coyote

Of grizzly bear, cougar or a furbearing animal other than a black bear, the hide must be removed to the person’s normal dwelling place or to a meat cutter, the owner or operator of a cold storage plant or to a taxidermist, tanner or a fur trader.
 
I don't live in BC, but a few minutes looking at the regs gives the answer.

Small Game
Other Small Game
(includes Coyote)

Furbearing animal - means a fox, beaver, black bear, marten, fisher, lynx, bobcat, mink, muskrat, river otter, raccoon, striped and spotted skunk, northern flying squirrel, red and Douglas’ squirrel, ermine, weasel, wolverine, wolf or coyote.

IT"S UNLAWFUL
37. to kill wildlife (with the exception of grizzly bear, cougar or a fur bearing animal other than a black bear) and fail to remove from the carcass the edible portions of the four quarters and loins to the person’s normal dwelling place or to a meat cutter or the owner or operator of a cold storage plant. A person who kills wildlife is exempted from the requirement to remove the edible portions if that person transfers possession of the wildlife to a recipient who complies with the requirement. Edible portions do not include meat that has been damaged and made inedible by the method of taking. Of grizzly bear, cougar or a furbearing animal other than a black bear, the hide must be removed to the person’s normal dwelling place or to a meat cutter, the owner or operator of a cold storage plant or to a taxidermist, tanner or a fur trader. A person who kills wildlife is exempted from the requirement to remove the hide if that person transfers possession of the wildlife to another person who complies with the requirement.

Same as Boo already posted :)
