    Vancouver Island Advice

    Hey everyone

    My wife and I recently moved to the Island (Qualicum Beach) and are looking for some advice on where to go to get started waterfowl hunting. Probably looking for either areas where a boat works (or maybe field) as I am a paraplegic and can't wade around anymore. Even if you're not sure it would be great to get a few ideas to get going.

    Really appreciate any advice
    Thanks
    Ben

    Welcome to the island. I live in Vic, but wish I lived up-Island in Qualicum, Parksville, CR. I don’t hunt waterfowl, but if you are into Grouse there tonnes of them sitting on the side of logging roads.
    When in doubt, just pin it.

    Super difficult. Unless u have permission from a farmer which is near next to impossible to get (which I don’t blame them) it’s difficult as lots of residents congregate around public land areas....also, the resident birds learn really quick and get sketched out easily. A boat opens up lots of options tho.

    Without giving up any honey holes, any general suggestions for places to get started with a boat?

    Welcome to the Island. If you head to Nanaimo fo in to Cedar and just turn left down reins road. Follow the road to the end. I havent been there yet myself so not too sure about it being wheel chair accessible or the use of the boat?
    If I make it down that way these days off I'll let you know what I find!
