    It's no hunting or shooting within 100 metres of a house, occupied barn, schoolyard etc. No minimum lot size unless there's some weird local law.

    I don't think you need anything in writing. If there's some sort of dispute it would be easier with written permission, but I think verbal permission is still permission. Then again I'm not a lawyer.

    I'd get written permission no matter the relationship. I've heard a few tales about how things can go south when one party tells a different tale in front of a LEO or a CO. Gone are the days when a man's word was as good as a hand shake. Well almost!!!
    Take a kid hunting its more rewarding than shooting an animal yourself!!

    Check with your local "municipality" or "Regional District".Wherever you pay property taxes! They will most likely have no shooing bylaws (with bows,crossbows,rifles,shotguns,pellet guns,etc)in place,so add that to the huntings regs,and you'll have your answers.Most likely you can't shoot on your friends lot.
    I "had permission" on a 22 acre parcel from the landowner,only to find out it was within the "District of North Cowichan" ,where the bylaws in place stopped me from going into it. Just be sure.
