    Cool Vancouver Island Hunting

    Any advice on hunting the island? Went over on long weekend for a first time island hunt and was dismayed at lack of access. Everywhere we went the logging roads were all gated off with and posted no hunting, trespassing, camping etc etc. We went from Nanaimo and up to Parksville, Horn Lake and it sucked. Is the entire southern island this way? Does a person have to go way up to north part of island? Any advice would be appreciated.

    Welcome to our world. You gotta go north if you want to have access.

    Yeah most of the South Island is owned by a couple timber companies. Some guys have ways around the gates but...

    You could try the Island section instead of the Mainland.

    Sadly, He ain't going to learn a whole lot over there either.
    It is what it is at this point.
    Gates EVERY Effing Where, with Pseudo-Nazi's wearing security bibs running the asylum.
    Pretty much a disaster.

    One way or another, I suspect things will be a little different next year.
    But for now, we are stuck with What Is...

    I’m thinking of taking my son to Gold River this weekend. Does anyone know the gate situation around there?
    When in doubt, just pin it.

    Re: Vancouver Island Hunting

    Why on earth would you want to come over to the Island to hunt? Maybe get out for a bit if you're here for other reasons as well, but, man, get on the road and head up to the Interior. As a Victoria resident, I would describe Island hunting this way - lots of gates, steep, wet, impenetrable second growth, and small deer that are only found in small pockets here and there.
