New Hunters - where to go advise

[Downtown]

Unless you get detailed information from somebody else,

A) Decide which region/Management you wish to hunt.
B) Talk Face to Face in his Office to a Conservation Officer working that particular region. They are arguably in the best position helping you and should not be afraid giving up "hot spots" another Hunter may sees as his "Honey hole" and does not want to tell you about. They also know about Gates and private property in that particular area.

On another note,
Now if just somebody would tell me how do I go about increasing the Font size in the Title line........................

Big one for new hunters to understand it's not so much about the location it is the small pockets within the location.

This is why many preach get out and scout because sometimes being a 100yards off the mark is the difference between seeing game and seeing nothing. This is why you will meet hunters who connect every year in areas most see nothing. That hunter knows the area well

So, rookie question: what do these "pockets" look like? I've hiked around region 2 and a bit in 3-30/5-1 and keep getting ghosted.

Downtown - how would I go about finding the CO for a region?

I did some Googling and searching on the gov.bc.ca site and couldn't find regions specific contact info.

A---Open current Hunting regulation.

B---You find CO services printed on the first page for each Region.

C---Make appointment.

Go to BC gov website and look harder. Look for employees. It's there.

Adriaticum - you're right. Like most government websites, not great with organization (but I've seen worse).
For anyone reading this in the future, here you go:

Learn the small pockets....and don't expect to be putting down a ton of game your first hunt....its a skill to be learned

Old saying... " 10% of the area , holds 90% of the game "

finding that 10% area is not that easy ...
