Crazy rifle hunter in Squamish!

[fishingguy44]

well i understand that you can not discharge firearms however my bow is not considered a firearm. I have been trying to clarify an actual question and could use some helpful advice. im not planning on stopping on the highway but i did find some trails a few hundred yards from the highway.

This is my worst nightmare for when I start bow hunting next year. That's why I'm going to try to get private land

He brushed it off like no big deal, im not sure what the etiquette is so i didnt want to get to heated. do you guys know of a bow only are on the surrey delta border? i have heard rumor but no proof. would be nice to go after some pheasent aswel but also for deer.

sumas mountain is bow only i think . you'll have to look it up

That's unfortunate, sucks you put in all the work and he showed up at the last minute!
I have to say that when a guy spots a buck he looks at the buck while getting ready to
shoot, makes sure it's legal and there's nothing vulnerable behind it in case the bullet
goes through, and then eases back the trigger and shoots. If you weren't directly
behind the buck according to his line of vision, he probably didn't see you, as he was
focused on the animal. I probably wouldn't have seen you either...unless you were in
my "safety scan" area right around or behind the buck. Primitive weapons are fun but
they do have their limitations...
Try getting well away from a road that a truck can still get down...maybe go down a
narrow quad trail if you have an atv and then use the machine to bring your buck back...

There's not that much primitive about today's bows.....

Ya all the aiming is done threw my I phone.

That is very sound advice Mr Gatehouse. I would expect info like that from you to a bow hunter!

Yes, it's good common sense advice, straight to the point.

And your advice was..... Oh right, you didn't even try to help. Thanks for coming out.

[ruger#1]

Yes parts of Sumas Mountain are bow only. No rifles alowed at all. Lots of gates. Because of all the partiers and illegal dumping. There are a few nice looking piebalds up there also.

and taken my buck

It wasnt your buck.

[The Dawg]

If I'm driving down a FSR and see a legal buck in a legal area, the last thing I'm going to do is say to myself is "hey, that's a nice buck. I'm gonna let it go cause someone else is probably hunting it right now"

Shitty that happened to you, but there is no way it's the other guys fault for using a rifle when you're using a bow.
As was said, it's not "your buck" until "you shoot it" and "you tag it"


When I'm bow hunting, I get away from the roads to help make sure this doesn't happen


I fail to see a problem
