New regulations

[trebreklaw]

When do they come out?

[Rhyno]

June I would think.

[Astepanuk]

I see they have listed that a non resident is required to have hunter education training I’m wondering does my Alberta hunter education cover this or will I be required to take a B.C. hunter ed course.

[acal57]

My Ontario Hunter ed counted but I'm a resident now. I just got to skip the CORE course when I bought my first BC resident hunting license last year.

[winchester284]

My Manitoba ed that I took in 1971 counted...

[gcreek]

I heard the main change in the provincial regs was that if game is within 100 yards you must fire a warning shot first.......

I've known this to happen quite a bit already.

[S.W.A.T.]

I heard you have to fire a warning shot at first light prior to the hunt and then again after you spot a animal with on a 1/4 mile. Anything beyond that is fare game

My pard'ner does as a rule.

If you are young and not liberal, you don’t have a heart. If you are older and not conservative, you don’t have a brain.

[Jelvis]

New Regs state all animals when shot at, Must be at least a hundred metres away from tip of barrel

my hunting partner seems to mostly just fire warning shots too...heheheh

[blackbart]

You can only shoot a buck after harvesting two whitetail does in region 4

[bullshot]

LOL It’s great to see, despite all our current challenges with sustainable and restorative wildlife management practices in B.C., that we can still keep a sense of humour through it all. Meanwhile our friends to the south continue to work together at all levels to get it right. https://www.fishwildlife.org/landing/blog/statement-passage-modernizing-pittman-robertson-fund-tomorrows-needs-act-2018-house-committee-natural-resources

When will we wake up and realize we need to do something similar - or soon we won’t have any wildlife left??

BC is extremely divided on everything not just hunting for this reason things are likely going to be a mess for years to come

[Jelvis]

New regulations for 2018 -- all road hunters will need to combine each others road trips to save on fuel consumption.
A. Must have at least two hunters per vehicle if only one truck used
B. If more than one vehicle is used both vehicles combine to one vehicle
C. All vehicles must use cheapest fuel possible
Jel -- new regs for Road Hunters -- Help CONSERVE fuel -- helps the environment also --

[finngun]

So my toy.echo is perrfect��hunting rig..hauled lots of game with it...no moose yet.

[Elkchaser]

Did read a question amongst all the latest ‘new’ regs. When are they coming out? I sent an ask through front counter BC and received reply today. Was hoping they might come out before May 25th LEH deadline. No such luck, I was told regs will be out mid June.

[Jelvis]

New Hunting Regulations for 2018, state, Online observation or the original paper Hunting Regulations you will need to proceed. Some rules of respect for your regs.
1. Do not use paper regs to start campfires
2. Do not use paper regs to swat bugs

Jel -- New BC Hunting Regulations for 2018 -- coming out in mid June -- Look up at the moon -- We're heading to Loon -- Lake -- for a venison steak --

[Travalanche]

I read that you can`t use anything smaller than a .338 for deer and a 500 Nitro express for elk and moose.

According to the internet it's physically impossible to take down an animal with anything less than those so it makes complete sense.

[Jelvis]

2018 New Regulations will show an increase in deer signs along highways and roads in B.C.
Deer signs will be doubled along heavy crossings by deer along the roads we drive
Remember where you see deer signs, slow down, this is where the deer are, doofis.

Why don't they just put the signs where there is less traffic so that the deer aren't crossing the busy roads?

The regs are always set to come out the week after the final day for booking Vacation. I thought that everyone knew that.

I know the odd person that fires several warning shots :-)

[ellenbill]

Sawmill you forgot to mention they must also be equipped with bump stocks! LOL

[Astepanuk]

Any word on when the new regulations are coming out still wait No for our Accompany to hunt permit thanks.

[AlexPdHJ]

I heard that the new regs says “hunter” is now considered a trigger word and you’re supposed to say “wild meat harvester” now. lololol!!!

[Jelvis]

New Hunting Regulations 2018 state, when road hunting for deer in thee Interior, when you get out of the vehicle you must make the deer run before taking your first shot.
- If deer stops after you get it running you can take a standing shot.
Jel -- Running Shots - Mandatory - You make deer run by Yelling, clapping hands or jumping up and down etc -- Be steady, be ready --

[Sportster]

Keeping with the theme of fare chase, All hunters will have to be blindfolded while pursuing game in BC.

Geez, with some hunters I have been around you won't notice any difference, bwaaah.

[Jelvis]

New Regulations 2018 -- All back up shots will have to be Side by Side Shots now! --
Jel -- Stand beside when firing --

[RyoTHC]

No. Stand one right in front of each other for safety. Jesus jelly.

[Jelvis]

-- Blaze orange, can be cammo blaze orange
Jel -- Blaze Orange and visible -- August 1, 2018/2019 -- Regs

a. if three shooters shoot at the same time and the bear's life expires, all will cancel tags they have.
Jel -- Called the Back-Up garrr in tea -- all shot, all cancel --

[Danny_29]

My Manitoba one counted, which is pretty crazy, considering the differences.

[Sikkatu]

[Ltbullken]

Is this for real??

No... it’s actually 200 meters.
