sheep tags for B.C

well i was looking at the government of bc website and is says
Mountain Sheep $620 + 75$ for out of province
now do i need a outfitter or guide? or can i go with a bunch of friends?
 
Hire an outfitter, or move to B.C. I don't know what bighorn hunts are going for nowadays but stone sheep hunts are 25-35,000.00.

I think if you are a resident of BC for two years.. you can get a bc hunting licence.
 
You can't hunter host like other provinces. I think you can take canadian residents hunting in BC if they're related to you. You can get tags for moose,elk, caribou, deer and such.The tags for canadian residents are very expensive. You can't hunt sheep, goats, or Grizzly bears if you are not a BC resident, unless you hire an outfitter. Then you pay for the hunt and licences and tags plus trophy fees, and getting yourself to the hunting area.

With 6 months of proven residency you are classed as a BC Resident.Then you get your Hunter#Card(Win Card),go buy a licence and a sheep tag and start walking!Some areas are draw but most are open.Sheep hunting is regulation intensive.For a Non BC Resident sheep hunting is guided ONLY. Mur

You actually can host other non related Canadian Residents in BC,it's called "permit to accompany",but as you say sheep,goats and grizzlies are off limits.CLOSE relatives from the US and overseas can be hosted with the same restrictions. Mur

Also make sure you have some kind of Hunter Training Course Credentials, I had Been hunting for 30 years or more but still had to take a Core course before I was able to get a Hunter Number.....that was quite a d:h: in the A$$.

Cheers

Also, make sure the six months is genuine residency and not a cooked up six month holiday in BC to get a hunting card.
There are now many ways to check up on such things.

Things must have changed,it used to be that you could show a Alberta,Ontario,or other Provincial licence along with proof of Residency in BC and get your hunter number card without taking the CORE course.If you had no licence to show then you had to take the course. Mur
