    You are correct. It seems they did take the “gear or equipment” related phrasing out. I don’t think I kept a copy of the last regs to compare to the current ones, but I recall it included gear in the helicopter restriction.
    If we’re not supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made out of meat?

    so are you saying when fishing with dynamite, you have to drop it from a plane instead of a helicopter?

    Interesting ..... I stand corrected. This might be a game changer for some spots. Pay to get 50 gallon drum of fresh water dropped off )

    No, then you’re fine. You can fish from a helicopter, and I’ve thrown explosives out of them before, so I know you can do that... not into lakes mind you, that might be worth looking up in the fishing regs!

    Its easier and probably cheaper to just use a chopper. Where the hell am I gonna keep a horse all year?

    And besides, have you seen the damage horses can do to the alpine?!? I'd ban horses in the fricken alpine just like they banned ATVs!!

    Cows too!!

    Piper Super Cub with Tundra Tires = Helicopter
    He's anything but a hunter.
    More like another, Rain Coast Sociopath Fraud. Living off the prevails of his chronic lies, like the rest of them...

    It's an issue, because these sociopath environmentalist's, will dilute the facts.
    To the point you or Joe public, won't know them any more..
    They count on that big time..

    Not even remotely close. I routinely hover exit people and their gear on to an object the size of a tree stump in a confined area. Try that with a fixed-wing aircraft.

    If you could use a helicopter to hunt in BC, be prepared to pay roughly twice the cost for the same load.
