Looking for rabbits in Langley-Chilliwak area

[Big Blaze]

Looking to take my young cousin out for some shooting tommorow, or sunday, and figured why not get some dinner out of it, any areas would be great, or if you know anyone with rabbit troubles on a farm that would work too, any help would be great

cheers

Where do you live ? If its Kelowna they are every place and come out about 7 pm.

There's plenty of rabbits in and around Langley, especially in the farming areas, trouble is they are either private land and or in a no shooting area.

If you can find a farmer that will let you pop some bunnies great, but then you'll need the "Lower Fraser valley special area hunting map" from the government to see what if any firearms you can use in that area.

The maps should be available at any license dealer, but if not the F/W office in Guildford nearly always has lots.

There is no discharge of firearms in Langley. In addition, as previously mentioned you need a Fraser Valley Special Area permit to hunt in the Fraser Valley West of the Vedder/Chilliwack River. You can get one using the policy number off of your house insurance. You can also use the insurance number associated with any gun club membership or BCWF membership. If you bowhunt opportunities to hunt rabbits in more urban areas will increase. Look for blackberry patches as that is where I see a majority of rabbits when walking.

i thought for cottontails because they were scd. C you dont need any licence, and I also do believe that langley is a no discharge area, enless for protecting land, so with permission this would be ok would it not?

[Wildfoot]

any old FSR that has grass on it and thick willows on the sides will yeild plenty of bunnies.

[greasysidedown]

shed c or not you still need a licence.

[Wildfoot]

to kill any animal you need your license. I learned this the hard way lol. Dont shoot squirrels in Tunkwa lake PP with a bb gun when you are 10 unless you enjoy being yelled at by PFO's

Can I hunt rabbits everytime and anywhere(out of town) ?

[Big Blaze]

according to the synopsis, yes

[mrdoog]

"Can I hunt rabbits everytime and anywhere(out of town) ?"

-make sure they are the type of rabbits listed in schedule "C"
there is more than one type of rabbit and hares in some areas

there are even some protected hares/rabbits which live in a small portion of BC

A little off topic but I was out picking blackberries yesterday on Annacis Island (mmmm blackberrie wine) and we saw 25 alond a 2.5 km strech of road feeding on the boulavards. This was Richmonds idea of controle, trap them abd move them to Delta:rolleyes:
