Crown Land Search

[Howsam]

Hello,

New to hunting in BC living in the Vancouver area. I'm wondering if there are any resources or what everyone uses for tracking down crown land to hunt on in BC. Im happy to travel anywhere assuming restrictions chill out come fall and looking to hunt Muley or Whitetail with my Bow. Ivew tried through Ihunter app and the government maps site but they are both super clunky and hard to understand.

Any suggestions to make my life easier? TIA

You can try iMap. There's a layer for land ownership: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/data/geographic-data-services/web-based-mapping/imapbc

Backroads mapbook is good for the most part (tells you if it's municipal, crown or IR) but to be 100% IMAP BC layers or equivalent such is iHunter are needed.

Generally crown land is just that, but there can be leases or ecological areas.

Top Notch Navigator is building into something very usable, fresh but good

One time I thought I was on crown land, stepped over some old barbed wire and got stung through the cheek... how i met boxhitch, buds ever since

BRMB is a pretty solid tool to start with, i recommend both soft and hard copies. Soft for home-based planning, and hardcopy for on-site reference.

Front Counter BC is great. It provides you with a Google Earth overlay and shows all sorts of good stuff.

Just click on the "Launch Discovery Tool" button.

Welcome to the site Howsam, all of the above (Fourth iHunter) are great options.

I use ParcalMap

https://parcelmapbc.ltsa.ca/pmsspub/

Once it is open, click on the 4 squares to open imagery

Click on the stacked squares to open up your choices for land types.

For private/crown - click on Parcels by Owner type and start your search.

Cheers
