Out of Province - Migratory Bird

[bigburndogg]

Hello,

I just moved out of province this summer, but I find myself back in BC for a few weeks this fall. I want to go out duck hunting, but it seems next to impossible to find the exact reference as to what license you need to carry.

I know, you need the federal tag, but are you required to carry a BC Hunters license to hunt migratory birds?

Thanks

im sure you need licence for here, or with a guide i guess lol
you leave long enough to be concidered a non bc guy now?

If you hunt in BC, you need a BC hunting license.

[bigburndogg]

common sense says that, but I cant find that on any website, or in the regs. That's why I'm asking the question.

Also if you are not qualified as a resident you need to observe the rules for non-residents.

4When hunting migratory game birds, you
must carry with you a valid Canadian Migratory
Game Bird hunting permit in addition to any
required provincial hunting licence. The permit is
available at most Post Offices.

BC Hunting License
Migratory Game bird permit
Most areas require a Fraser Valley Special (Requires liability insurance also available thru BCWF)

[Bonz]

other option for that fraser valley permit is house ins to buy the valley licence. or range pass, it includes the 3r party liability you need

Non-resident hunting license includes a space for purchase of a bird license.

the application also states "
ADDITIONAL SPECIES LICENCES WILL NOT BE ISSUED UNLESS APPLICANT PRESENTS THEIR CURRENT BASIC HUNTING LICENCE
OR NUMBER, WHICH IS VERIFIED WITH THE HEADQUARTERS. IN ADDITION TO A PROVINCIAL LICENCE, A FEDERAL PERMIT IS
REQUIRED FOR HUNTING MIGRATORY BIRDS — OBTAINABLE FROM ANY POST OFFICE."

This is an old thread. Sorry to resuscitate.

I have a friend here who is not a bc resident anymore. He has his bc non restricted hunting license. It states he is allowed to hunt small game but not big game without a guide. What about geese. Does he just require a migratory bird license as well as his bc hunting license?

I can't seem to find info anywhere
