New Hunter Planning a trip to Haida Gwaii

[1/2 slam]

Are you sure? From what I know once you've tagged 3 QCI blacktails you're done in the rest of BC, unless you're going for the 15 count by the end of season in QCI.

Sorry but you are wrong. IF and that's a big IF you use your regular tags that would be true. Buy the special QCI tags and they don't count against your provincial limit.

yes the ferry schedule has it departing PR on the 28th at 10am and ill have to take the night ferry on oct 6th 1230 am... i think or the morning one on the 9th.. at 10 am... i just dont know how much time i will need.. 1 week? 2 weeks? whats an average time that you would recommend staying?

we are using this trip mainly for learning purposes. traking, stalking, field dressing, quatering, skining... ill have my ipad with videos on everything so i can watch them step by step just incase i hit a blank space and dont know what to do.

How much is the ferry to get up there? Been wanting to head that way but haven't been able to find the time in the passed.

Go to the BC Ferries WEB site they have all the dates times and costs of the ferry sailings over there - my first trip in 2001 we went over with a truck and trailer - 53 ft total lenght - it was $950 return ! YIKES ! RJ

Damn, I knew it was pricy but that might be a bit much for a couple small deer, I'm sure bc ferries hasn't lowered the price at all, the wife's a travel agent maybe it'd be worth having her look at flights.

For a truck and 2 people it will run around $430 return. Thats not bad. We also used to get a state room so we could stretch out and sleep undisturbed. The trip is worth while. My hunting partner and I are talking about doing it again (3rd time)

I got to agree, the state room makes the trip so much more comfortable. When I was younger, I would roll out a thermarest on the floor and be grateful, but unfortunately as you get older that seems less and less appealing. The price of $430 split two ways isn't really that bad, in my opinion but these days I usually fly into Masset out of the south terminal in Vancouver.
I really wish that BC ferry would look into a ferry from Port Hardy straight to QCI without the need to go to Prince Rupert. I'm sure there would be a lot more passengers interested in going go up and exploreing if the trip was a bit more straight forward.

Actually I think they did in a way. From what I understand they have removed the over-height charge.

or you can take the ferry from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert then on to QCI lol
