Sign up here: http://www.huntingbc.ca/. Lots of great people on here, they won't give you their "honey holes" but will point you in the right general direction if you ask the right questions.

Two things you need to do:

1- head further north for good hunting......

2- start knocking on doors, politely asking for permission and offering to exchange some work for hunting land......

You live in Canada's second biggest metropolis....... Expecting to hunt nearby is a pipe dream.....

 

[Big-boss-man]

well I don't know about BC but in Alberta the hunters training and regs specifically say "ask for permission to hunt on private{/occupied public land for grazing} land" but there are also lots of "wilderness areas" provincial land that a person can hunt on.

You should have come here 200 years ago. The hunting land was much more open. But a least you have a good attitude.

Just kidding

 

[remyltr]

or move to sask,plenty of hunting over here

 

[Frapps]

Pick up a zone map

 

[jlovie]

So you're mad because you can't hunt on other peoples land?

 

[VanIsleCam]

Or a backroads book. The low to midisland is the same way gate wise. Hunting BC is a good site.

 

[HeliMD]

Where in BC are you located

 

[Izzit]

I thought that all visiting hunters in BC required a guide?

You can buy land to, you know. Theres nothing special about the process, its just requires money.

A land use map is helpful: it identifies crown land vs owned lands, and for owned lands, identifies the owner.

As others have said, if you're going to go out and knock on a few doors BEFORE HUNTING SEASON (with requests for permission in exchange for some chores), it's nice to know the name of the guy answering the door.
In all my years of hunting on farmland in Alberta, I only ever had one owner say no. Normally it was "Okay, but no shooting on the home quarter, and don't shoot my cows."

Seems like it. A word to the OP. Get to know other hunters in your area. It's not as easy as "got gun, go hunting"

 

[blasted_saber]

Private land is private land. Theres nothing special about those who own it, they had they resources to buy it. Buy some of your own or learn how to research Crown/Public land.

The guy is doubling up - see GFD....(whoops - my bad - got moved while I had two tabs open).

You'd be surprised how many foreigners have this attitude when they come to Canada. There really aren't any places on the planet that have more public access to quality hunting than Canada, especially BC, so I'm not sure where the OP is coming from.

Start by getting a landowner map of the areas you plan to hunt.

I don't live in BC but private land is private land. someone owns and pays for it and taxes for it and you complain about it.......... I live in Ontario and had a difficult time finding land to hunt so, guess what, I stepped up and bought my own. I can let whoever I want here. I pay a mortgage and taxes on it........
instead of having the poor attitude you seem to have. knock on doors and ask permission, offer to help out around the land. the attitude you have at present won't get you anywhere but a spot on your couch for the upcoming season.

+1 on the crown maps and lost count but + whatever about knocking on doors and asking.
