Hi, Just saying “hi” to everybody, I’ve just joined HuntingBC this month, been reading all great posts for a while now - and it is an amazing source of information!
I got my firearms permit and hunting license in Victoria years ago, but somehow I wasn’t very active (however I miss my Springfield 30-06 very much!)….until now, when my older son (17y.o) expressed interest in hunting and firearms in general. So, we both attended the course and are awaiting our licenses (I’ve checked the web page today and the initial process was completed, whatever that means, lol). It seemed like a good idea, because now my teenager actually speaks to me in full sentences when we talk about hunting, firearms, trips, equipment etc., ha, ha (teenagers, sigh)
I was wondering-would you be so kind and recommend a good source (a book or a web page/webinar), so I could learn some more about BC small/big game? I’ve found a post recommending “The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game”, so is there some other good source of information for hunters?
Also, if by any chance, anybody would feel like mentoring a couple of new guys, so we could join to observe and learn – that would be just awesome. We live in Vancouver, are fairly fit (well, my son is very fit), are not afraid of long hikes (we actually spend a lot of time outdoors, but it’s all hiking in BC Parks), don't have ATVs-so it is more a hike in/out experience, have Subaru Outback-so we are able to get into places and enthusiastic.
Thanks!
