New Regs 2018-2020

[tyreguy]

Quick copy and paste below. i have a Mule doe draw for Kamloops so i had to really read this to get it - i can shoot my doe in Reg 3 but thats it for Mule in that region, however i can go to another region - say R4 and take a Mule Buck as long as i do not exceed my Provincial limits. But only 1 buck from the said regions.
I see this being a head scratcher for lots of hunters!!

The Provincial bag limit for deer is 3 (not including Haida Gwaii/QCI). Hunters may not harvest more than 3 deer in one licence year,but only 1 may be a mule (black-tailed) deer buck from Regions 3,4, 5, 6, 7A, 7B and 8 combined.Hunters may harvest 3 white-taileddeer (if they purchase 3 white-taileddeer licenses), or 3 mule (blacktailed)deer (if they purchase 3mule (black-tailed) deer licenses), ora combination of white-tailed andmule (black-tailed) deer (1+2 or2+1) providing they do not exceedthe provincial limit of 3 and notmore than 1 mule (black-tailed)deer buck from Regions 3, 4, 5,6 ,7A, 7B and 8 combined. Thereason hunters may purchase morethan 3 deer licenses in total is toprovide hunters with the flexibilityto harvest any combination of white-tailed or mule (black-tailed) deer upto a maximum of 3.

Some people seem to really struggle with this concept.

The concept I'm struggling with is why the government thought it was a good idea to go to from a consolidated booklet to loose tags, and add provisions to potentially criminalize hunters. There are some years that I legitimately forget what old tags I have/had that aren't relevant for the current season or hunt and my only reminder was to flip open my booklet.

Now if I'm out and about and get questioned by a conservation officer and I forgot that I bought 2 bear tags this year instead of 1 I'm going to get fined or worse?

You'll have to try to keep the tags together from the start, And don't take them apart except when needed.
-- try not to separate the tags from the home base, all neatly stacked to gedder --
Jel -- be conscious of your tags and keep them together on your watch --

I put my PAL and Tags in a ziplock. If I go hunting it comes with me. Keeps it all in one package.

Is MU 2-1 the only one in the entire province where there is no open season on any species? I don't see anything in the either this or the LEH synopsis. There must be a lot of animals there because nobody is allowed to hunt anything.

I've been debating this with a bunch of people on the hunting facebook groups, who seem to think (and are advising others), if they take an LEH doe in region 3, a buck in region 8 can't be taken. Apparently one of them was told that by a CO :/ It's pretty crazy how hard people are struggling with this. At least I'm literate and maybe there will be less pressure in region 8 where I plan to take a buck, alongside my region 3 doe

MU 2-1 and part of 2-17 are Manning Park. Only parts of 2-17 allow hunting, 2-1 is closed to all hunting except with a bumper.

It's quite clear in the regs. I think people need to READ the regs instead of just scanning over them. People are ******ed these days from staring at phones and computers all day.

I think you can take a buck mule in 3 even if you take your LEH mule antlerless there.?
Just one buck tho is thee point being made, 1 mule buck period.
Jel -- Like Billy Joel -- you could be wrong and I may be rye hite -- check it over -- and see if i'm correct --

No Jel, Chart on pg 17 of Synopsis, only 1 Mule in reg 3, Buck or LEH doe. Reg limit is 1 (in green). If you have LEH would have to get buck in other region.
