If you discharge a gun south of Dennet lake you'll get yourself in more trouble than it's worth.
Starting with 2012 not even archery is allowed within the boundaries of Coquitlam.
Do as you like but you've been warned.

[Legi0n]

ok, I used to be just like you so I'll throw in some tips:
Pinecone Burke Park is big. Dennet Lake marks the northern boundary of Coquitlam in this park.
You can hunt (no target practice though) in portions of said park that are not covered by a no-discharge bylaw.
The Ministry of the Environment map is free for hunters and a good guideline.
Also, if you're hunting in the Fraser Valley area, you need extra insurance.
The trails of Pinecone Burke Park are full of mountain-bikers and hikers. The hippy type who freak out at the sound of shooting.
There are even private cabins in the area.

I know you're eager to shoot some but trust me on this one; the onus is on you to make sure you can shoot where you are shooting.

It's cheaper to buy a range membership. After all PoCo is right at the Pinecone Burke park southern gate.
Or just buy a day card. Maybe we'll meet there.

Must be an easer way to figure this shit out is there a number you can call and ask where because this states that insurance is indeed needed but for hunting BIRDS it clearly states


Fraser Valley Special Licence Hunting Area
(FVSLHA) (situated in MUs 2-4, 2-. All persons
hunting within MU 2-4 & those portions of MU 2-8
within the corporate limits of the corporation of
the district of Maple Ridge, the corporation of the
district of Pitt Meadows, the district of Mission, the
corporation of the district of Coquitlam are required
to purchase a Fraser Valley Special Area Hunting
Licence in addition to other Provincial licences and
for hunting migratory game birds, the Migratory Bird
Licence. $1,000,000.00 Public Liability and Property
Damage insurance is required.

this is why i still need to take the CORE LOL

[Legi0n]

Oh, I could tell you about the run-ins I've had with the hippies on the trails of Pinecone Burke park and how many were freaking out at the sight of my guns.
I was just hiking out of Coquitlam but given the steepness of the terrain that took a while.
Some cabin owners were hunter friendly but some (a lawyer) were not.
Last Sunday there were 4 police cruisers on Harper road (southern boundary of the park) and another one rushed in followed by the park ranger. Do not take a chance!

[doddatto]

I wont i will make sure i call the conservation office before i decide to do so, i was told you where allowed, but even if you are and its going to be problems then i wont, its just nice and close and iv been up and down that mountain and thats all i see is bear ! thanks man i appreciate it

[Legi0n]

Yep, plenty of bear there.
And that's what triggered the archery ban last year: a live bear has been spotted with an arrow stuck in it's body.
Long story short, archery is no longer allowed in the Coquitlam's area of the park.
