how to make a living hunting - where and what
Hi,
I'm trying to change careers to become a hunter. I'm wondering about the "where" and "what" of hunting in BC. In your opinion, assuming I have the resources to learn what I need to hunt, what would you recommend as
i) the best location to make a living hunting; and
ii) what should I hunt at that location to make a living (for one person)

Is this even worth the head aches to try and do this today in BC?
Political and social issues would be a nightmare that would never end, I would think.
The best way to become a millionaire while hunting for a living, is to start with 2 million.

Hunt the coast for Kermode black bears, gall bladders from a spirit bear are worth about $10,000.00!!!! If you can shoot 10 or 12 a year it would make for a pretty good living!!!! Add a few eagles and spotted owls and you could make out like a bandit!!!

Thanks to the one person (maybe two) who provided a serious answer. I understood that it was possible to earn a living from hunting in Ontario, assumed the same in BC.

Today, trapping remains a socially and economically important activity for many people in Ontario.
Do you not consider trapping to be hunting, or it's a different environment economically in BC??

Sure you can make something of a living. Go get a job as a wrangler, get some experience, become a guide. Work guiding 2-3 months in the spring for bears and 2-3 months in the fall for ungulates. Fill in the summer with a job doing fishing guiding or trail riding or whitewater rafting or whatever. Spend the winter trapping or hunting yotes for thier pelts. It's not a really lucrative lifestyle as you could make twice as much money working half as hard in the oil patch, but you can do it if you really want to.
