whitetail hunting BC

[fulldrawlife]

Im from manitoba so im always looking up hunting in the mountains and watching videos of sheep and elk hunts, but iv never heard much about whitetail hunting in BC. From what iv seen the muledeer hunting is awesome, but hows the whitetail hunting? If anyones got pics of deer they have taken i would love to see them. Ill try to upload some of mine but im new to the forum so i havent quite figured out how yet haha.

[knighthunter]

There are several topic's on the go about whitetail's now. I too am from Manitoba having hunted whitetails for about 40 years. Welcome to the site.

Lots of WT's here in BC. They are building in popularity as a game species. Hunting them a big adjustment for most of us who grew up hunting mule deer. :-D

Picture posting instructions are in my signature line.

That because we don't want foreigners coming over here from the prairies. hehehehe :wink:

Lol. Where in Manitoba are you from? I was born in Winnipeg but my parents got me out before the Mosquitos could get me. :-D

[fulldrawlife]

Im from stonewall area, just a bit north of winnipeg. Ya the bugs are bad thats for sure. And they seem to get even worse during hunting season haha

[fulldrawlife]

those are two awesome bucks. Good pictures to!

[ncurrie]

Wow great looking bucks! I only made it 4 months in Manitoba till it got the best if me so I never got to go hunting there. But was very please I got my first whitetail this year! It very exciting! Welcome looking forward to more of your pics:)

[fulldrawlife]

Manitoba's not the most beautiful place thats for sure haha.

[ncurrie]

Especially in snow lake Manitoba lol!!!

Hey dude for bucks you're on to I think its pretty friggin beautiful :mrgreen: There is beauty in the prairies big time as far as I'm concerned its just more subtle. Welcome to the site. Sounds like maybe you're thinkin of coming out this way to hunt the mountains some day? That'd be cool we totally let foreigners in, hell we even let coach come here :tongue:

[fulldrawlife]

Hey Salty. Ya the deer hunting is pretty good out here. Lotsa competition with other guys thou. Im trying to get out there for a hunt, just trying to see who the best outfitter would be. Its flippin expensive to go on a hunt in BC if your a non resident haha. The thing that i wanna experience the most is hunting in the back country.

Well there is another route on that fulldrawlife... Someone from BC with a hunting licence can sponsor you and take you out, google up bc hunting regs and 'accompany to hunt' I think it is..... So you better start hangin around and makin some friends. LOL

edit- should add on that that's only for species that have a general open season mainly just deer. For sheep etc. its a guide show or for residents its a lottery type deal called limited entry...

Same hunter host program as Alberta? Iv had bad some bad experiences dealing with guys from alberta trying to set that up haha. I will look into it, thanks!

I hunt a bit north of you every year, have since the early 90's, tough to get quality bucks in there maybe due to the guides or locals, not sure, but it nice to see the big bucks you have killed

poaching has hit my area hard lately. its really unfortunate cause it could be such a great area. early season is now proble the only time to get big bucks around here. Guys were having a hard time hunting the rut this year. Were down to one tag per person witch i like more, but i waited all year for deer season and was tagged out and done hunting within 6 days of season opening haha

[.300WSMImpact!]

yes in our area, the out of season hunting has really hurt the big bucks, but I am sure if I spent time with trail cams and early season scouting we would get good chances at big bucks, but its a family trip so we enjoy the time more then the big bucks

I've got a pic of a nice 5x5 but I'm not in the mood to start a photobucket account, maybe I could have someone post it for me?

After 690 posts it's about time you got that PB account. You've likely been holding out on us. :-D It will take just as long, but if your that lazy email me and I'll help you out.

lol, not a lot to hold out on really, got my first buck a few seasons ago and been in dry spell ever since, there's been a few birds here and there but that's it unfortunately.

[coach]

Here you go, lazyass..:-D Nice buck!

Lol thanks, not bad for a first but I think I may have cursed myself!

[fulldrawlife]

Awesome buck! Heck of alot bigger then my first haha

[russm]

I'm not sure if you'd count the points at the bases of the antlers, I call him a 5x5 but if you were to count the smaller ones he'd be a 7x6 which will probably prolong the curse haha! And if anyone's thinking he's hit too far back it's because I shot him with buckshot.

I grew up out in BC but now live in MB. I think MB is pretty darn beautiful. Gotta explore more than just Stonewall, though it is a great little town.
