    New Hunter in Vancouver - Planning 2 - 5 day hunts in Squamish, Chilliwack, etc.

    Hey,

    I'm a new hunter. Just got all my gear, and have gone out on a few winter multi-day camping excursions to get ready for the hunting season.

    I have 3 hunts planned in Squamish, Chilliwack, Callghan Lake and North Vancouver. If anyone wants to join, shoot me a PM.

    Welcome to the addiction! Lots of great info on HBC.

    As a new hunter myself, I think you are more likely to see game and have success (which may take a few years) heading further east. Think about spending a few multi-day hunting trips at least out past Merritt/Kamloops/Okanagon etc

    I'm planning on going opening season in Chilliwack. April 20th leaving Friday and coming back Sunday for deer. I'd have access to a truck and can bring up a few people from Vancouver.

    As a new hunter, the BC regs are something you really want to study and know very well. Deer season is Sept-Dec in most regions. I’m not sure if you actually meant to write “bear” instead of deer?

    Yes pay attention to the regs. Don't want to end up in the penalty box.

    Highly recommended the hunter buddy app.

    that sad spring deer should have very little fat and should happliy be found eating the new grass on the edge of any road after snow melt...at lower elevations...makes for some easy shot opurtunities before they start fawning.
