    public hunting land

    How do I find good maps detailing private and public hunting land. Located in the okanagan near kelowna and just want to make sure I am hunting in the proper areas. I don't really have anyone to take me out so I'm learning as I go and don't want to step on any toes. If any one wants to give me a few decent public land areas to check out that would be pretty awesome too

    Download google earth along with this..... http://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/kml/front_..._bc_loader.kml
    Find the crown, and private option in the menu, and bob's your uncle.

    Are either of these options usable on a smart phone. Not a huge deal either way but would be pretty handy

    if you put an app called GPS Kit HD on your Iphone or I pad, you then can convert the areas of interest into a KML and open it in your phone. Nice thing is, you have google earth imagery WITHOUT having to be in cell range. Screen will be small, but usable.

    Another resource is the Integrated Land and Resource Registry.

    Re: public hunting land

    i finally got home from camp and was able to get on the computer. i checked out imaps which is a really cool site but as far as the layers i need to lay down i am incredibly lost. there are so many options and i want to make sure i am getting it right and not just making an assumption that could get me in trouble this season. if you have any tips for what layers you use or how to better go about using the page i would really appreciate the advice

    thanks

    The RDCO has its own GIS software as well.
