I was surprised to hear Washington state has closed all hunting and fishing until May 4th....I'm holding out on ordering tags and licenses for now...things are changing fast

same here. Never know what happens. Will get mine closer to September.

I hunt mostly alone anyways, so for me i'll just skip the tim hortons or mcdonalds breakfast on the way.

Stay home, no hunting for 2 years.
The bush is infected

Solid advice!!!

My wife was telling me that in abbotsford a car load of people were pulled over and issued fines cause there id showed they had separate addresses. Also some of here employees were pulled over being asked where there going and why and were asked to show proof they were going to work.. Havent seen it myself yet but it looks like cops are keeping an eye out. Or at least using it as an excuse to pull people over for " normally" no reason.

APD? no better than commissionaires

I've heard that RCMP ticketing people driving together rumor so many times and it always starts with "my relative's co worker's sisters ..." and when you ask them to confirm they never can.

In Alberta this did happen and the police apologized and took back the ticket.

Both Delta and the VPD came out and said this isn't happening.

Once again call your local city hall and ask. The fines are bylaw infractions So far!!!!!!! That doesn’t mean go out and party. Play by the rules that They are asking.

I'm not sure if it was APD. There has been a lot of RCMP integrated road safety in Abby recently. I would be surprised if it was APD there usually really good in my experiences.

So a provincial Liberal government would allow a free-for-all to help actively spread the virus?

I've heard from a few different people but cant find any proof. I've heard if you hunt with people they have to be from the same household, in effort the stop the spread. Anyone else hear this?
