where do you hunt..?

[Hunting2323]

what rules are there that you need to be aware of in selecting a place...?
-cant be too close to a building... or the road...do you just pick a region and hit the backroads?

[Ozone]

Have you taken the CORE course? Read the regs?

[brian]

do you just pick a region and hit the backroads

umm yesish.

1 find a place that looks interesting.
2 check the regs to see if it falls under any hunting shooting restrictions.
3 check to see if it is crown/private/or res land.
4 make sure it is not in park land or nature preserve of any kind, if it is in parkland is it a huntable park?
5 make sure it is not in municipal boundaries, if it is check their bylaws on weapons discharge.
6 check for access and whether it is gated etc.
7 if it is a developed area then make sure you know where the houses, roads, and hiking trails are.

Then get out there and figure out where the animals are.

Have you taken your hunting course yet? all this is covered.

I'm not the OP but I took my CORE through a well known company here in the lower mainland with my son in October. Mostly you learn the safety of hunting, not the how of hunting. Even the skinning and butchering lecture was not required to attend for some reason.

They did not teach us how to find a hunting spot but did teach us all the safety involved in knowing how far to be from certain areas, roads, buildings, etc.

To be honest I really wish they had brought up Google maps and given us examples of how to find hunting spots, show us things to look for that would indicate a good place to hunt, things to look out for, etc. Brought a few of us up and have us look for a spot then figure out together what area it falls in, what we can hunt there, if it's a safe looking area to explore, show the topographical functions so you know the height.etc.

They could even teach you how to use the measuring tool in maps to know how far you are from areas, etc.

I'd say if they spent one hour per course teaching new-comers how to find a location it would make a world of difference for us who are new to hunting.

I've spent so much time on my own figuring out things an instructor could have shown me in an hour. Now I think I have it figured out enough to start.

Connect with an expierenced hunter who you can go along with to get you going. Trying it all on your own can be done of course but will take lots of time in most cases.

do not have a fire at the above co ordinates

I think this is a troll thread. Question seems way too weird. Possible set up for a blockade of some activists...
That's my $0.02

Or maybe the OP is just very new to hunting and thought that a hunting site might be a great place to get some advice and encouragement.

If you want to help, that would be great. We need more hunters for our survival. If not, then just say nothing.

Try to hunt where the animals are and the people are not. Drive, hike and hike some more. Use a gps and find promising areas on google earth. Scout in the off season and look for sign. Do lots of reading and lots more. Find someone who has been around the area you're interested in and buy them a beer and hopefully they can share some tips. That's all I got..

[emerson]

Find an area close enough that you can get there regularly that is hunting legal crown land. The first few times don't expect much but getting to know the area. Getting together with someone who has hunted for a while is way simpler though.

I don't know if I'd go so far as to suspect activists, but this seems like a troll to me too.

Who's taking this guy out for spring bear?

Bears are heavy, he can learn by doing while you give pointers.
