Without looking it up I thought the marmot was a protected species in B.C.

Schedule "B" lists animals that may be
captured or killed only for the specific
purpose of protecting property unless an
open season is designated by regulation (see
Regional Schedules for open seasons).

(h) Marmota flaviventris - yellow-bellied
marmot

they can't allow it because it is within city limits and firearms are not allowed to be discharged within city limits by local bylaw

Which bylaw is it that states no discharge of firearms in city limits? Having a hard time finding it.

Big ugly land beavers. We call them ground hogs here in Bantario, we see them everywhere, most are in the 20lbs + range.

I thought you called them woodchucks in Ontario?
We used to call them ground hogs in Saskatchewan.
However, in BC they are marmots. The very rare Vancouver Island variety that was mentioned, to the most common, the yellow bellied, that everyone else is talking about. They are not as big as a lot of people are making out. The really big one is the hoary marmot of the mountains, also known as the whistler. To any person who loves the outdoors and the wilderness, especially the mountainous wilderness, whistlers are a wonderful animal and a great asset to the country. Unfortuneately, they are getting very scarce in most areas and non existant over huge areas.
All marmots in BC are protected.

Williams Lake doesn't list all their bylaws online, just a select few. However it is carried over into the hunting regulations with the Williams Lake/ River Valley no shooting area, not no hunting area because the bylaw does not include bows, crossbows or airguns that are not considered firearms federally. There are a few areas within city limits where you can safely and legally bowhunt.

This was even confirmed by the CO's a couple years back when some local busybodies "discovered" the remains of several deer in the Dairy Fields while walking their dogs. The CO's investigated, confirmed they were legal kills and the result of a poor choice of dump site after butchering, not poaching as the finders had irrationally assumed. They also stated it is legal to hunt with bows within city limits, just not firearms, and that while a poor choice of dump sites, it was not illegal to have dumped the bones and hides where they had been dumped.

Some people make me sick with their hunting practices. Well Im glad that Williams Lake hasn't gone the way of Quesnel with the no archery and no pellet gun shooting within city limits....

I was told they make very strong thin leather
