Hey everyone
My wife and I recently moved to the Island (Qualicum Beach) and are looking for some advice on where to go to get started waterfowl hunting. Probably looking for either areas where a boat works (or maybe field) as I am a paraplegic and can't wade around anymore. Even if you're not sure it would be great to get a few ideas to get going.
Really appreciate any advice
Thanks
Ben
Welcome to the island. I live in Vic, but wish I lived up-Island in Qualicum, Parksville, CR. I don’t hunt waterfowl, but if you are into Grouse there tonnes of them sitting on the side of logging roads.
Thanks! Will definitely be out wandering around
I am new to the island as well..so welcome! I am also a waterfowler and am still trying to work out where the ticket is to do some duck hunting over here!
Super difficult. Unless u have permission from a farmer which is near next to impossible to get (which I don’t blame them) it’s difficult as lots of residents congregate around public land areas....also, the resident birds learn really quick and get sketched out easily. A boat opens up lots of options tho.
Without giving up any honey holes, any general suggestions for places to get started with a boat?
Check out the estuaries those are your best bet.
Welcome to the Island. If you head to Nanaimo fo in to Cedar and just turn left down reins road. Follow the road to the end. I havent been there yet myself so not too sure about it being wheel chair accessible or the use of the boat?
If I make it down that way these days off I'll let you know what I find!
Thanks - I will head down and have a look too. Appreciate the help
