So duck season is almost upon us, and I was hoping you guys can help me out. I've wanted to get into duck hunting since I got my license, however I don't know where to start. I have a shotgun (semi and a backup pump gun), and I have a sit-on kayak that can be used for retrieval purposes. What I don't have is a good idea of where I can/can't hunt them within the GVRD. I know there is one place just south of Pitt Lake (Pitt Addington Marsh I think it is?) which is only open Weds/Sat/Sun or something like that... I have also seen some stuff online about Mud Bay Park and the Deas Island/Canoe pass area, however I am not sure how dated that info is...

So, anyone want to help out a newbie with some areas to explore in hopes of getting into some waterfowl? I'd love it if someone wanted to take me under their wing for a trip or two, but even a few pointers would be wonderful, as I am finding this whole hunting-in-the-city thing hard to get started with.

Thanks!
 
Those places you listed are still active. Two documents you need to research:

1. Fraser Valley hunting map https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/s...pecial-area-hunting-licence-2017-2018_4pg.pdf

2. The 2017/2018 Hunting Synopsis https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/s...-2018/hunting-trapping-synopsis-2016-2018.pdf

Both of these are primary documents for your education.

They will also tell you, that you need the following: 1. Your BC FWID hunting license 2. Federal Migratory Bird permit 3. Fraser Valley Hunting permit 4. Proof of Insurance.

With your kayak you'll be able to reach a lot of areas others can't. Hopefully you are safe and have proper vest and other life saving equipment, especially if you are by yourself. A lot of these areas are also reachable on foot.
 
I didn't get a range membership this year. What are my other options for insurance? $50 will get me a silvercore membership which includes 10mil coverage, is that my cheapest option?

Once ducks get going here I’d be willing to take you out, usually take a few newer hunters out each year for deer and/or ducks, I’m out in Mission usually hunt out Harrison way for ducks, I have a boat, I usually don’t start going hard for ducks till end on November though, shoot me a pm if your interested

You can join the BCWF as an individual direct member for $49.00 which includes insurance. You can save a buck!

That seems like a good option, I'd rather support BCWF than silver core. (nothing against silver core, took my PAL and challenged my CORE test with them, but I'm all for supporting conservation)
