[J_T]

Hands down tree stand hunted whitetail.
Best opportunity for a youth to learn about whitetail.

I will add to my vote of black bear. Spring bear is much easier than a fall bear due to is very predictable habits and lower elevations.

I said Mule Deer. It doesn't say buck so I assume you mean doe's too? I could just about get a doe every time I go out if I wanted to.

But if you mean bucks only then I would change my answer to Black Bear

Anyone who voted for anythings else than sitka deer clearly hasn't been to the charlottes.... an island.... with deer.... and bears are the only predators.... its polluted with deer.

It's a poll. Which is the easiest big game animal to hunt in BC?

This poll isn't fair. You forgot farmers cow, For the people that actually do shoot them.

I had to vote whitetail. Where I hunt on the mainland, you can pretty much take one at your leisure with a rifle. And even when I'm bow hunting, pretty easy to fill a tag. Agree with JT, great animal to go after if your trying to introduce a youth or new hunter to big game hunting.

I voted Black bears, as I could have harvested plenty if I wanted to. When I hunted 7-27 I must have seen 10 black bears a day, wish i had of bought two tags, to help take the pressure off the moose, come calving season.

Up in Hazelton I would have a slow evening if I only saw 20 blackbears,down here though it`s whities.

True, but if you don't live there getting there is more difficult than going out in most of BC and finding a black bear, that's why I voted black bear, pretty good chances all around the province no matter where you live

From my experience, for all options in the poll (easy to difficult):
Sitka Black-tailed Deer: Surprisingly low in vote; these deer are the easiest big game if you go to Haida Gwaii and you can almost murder them with a spear. Both doe and bucks are easy.
Mule Deer Doe Tag: Free meat in the freezer.
White-tailed Doe Open Season: Free meat in the freezer (Region 4)
Black Bear: If not picky on size or colour phase, bears are plentiful throughout the provincial; as a Vancouverite I can find bear within 2 hrs from my home.
Columbia Black-tailed Doe: Campbell River used to be easy, not anymore.
Mule Deer Buck Open Season: Not very easy, you need a honey hole.
White-tailed Buck Open Season: Region 4 is the way to go.
Moose: You need a honey hole and a shared tag, otherwise go to 7B and try your luck in open season.
Elk: Hardest thing about this is to draw the tag...
Bison: Same as above, plus ATV/UTV is required.
Caribou, Goat and Sheep: Never hunted any of these three, but would like to give a try if tag drawn.
