Re: Bow hunting near Langley
My understanding is the Township is much larger area than the City.

The City is the downtown core from 62nd ave to 44th ave and 196th st to 210th st. the rest is the Municipality (township)

No Shooting Areas are open to the use of bows and they generally apply to the road restrictions. The regs do not have municipal restrictions however and those have to be checked on specifically for the area you are hunting. As previously indicated this can be a challenge when you have "Langley City" "Langley Township" and "Langley Municipality" or whatever it is
Re: Bow hunting near Langley
Also The FV Special Area Hunting Map only states that:
Some cities and municipalities include bows in their definition of “firearms”. Also, some local governments include discharge of firearms using single projectiles in their bylaws. Please refer to spedific bylaws at Clerk’s Department.
The Township of Langley has much more Hunting opportunity than the City - I doubt I'd hunt within the City. And According to the Township Bylaw posted above, Bows are NOT prohibited.
Find some Farms & get permission, or find some public land within the Township, carry your bent stick and you're legal as long as you have your FVSA Hunting Permit and follow the rules on the FVSA map.

Interesting. I am moving to acrage on the north side of Hwy 1 in aldergrove (Langley township) I'll be looking into this moore as I plan on setting up targets and having a home practice range
Re: Bow hunting near Langley
Why not just hop 276th and start knocking on doors of farmers? Langley bylaws hold no water east of 276th.
Re: Bow hunting near Langley

I've almost hit three nice bucks at the top of 264th as it heads down the hill to the river. On my BIKE!! Just standing on the road right at dusk.
