Question from nonresident?

[George Ackley]

What can a nonresident hunt without a guide in BC ??
I did see on BC Fish and Wildlife site that we can't hunt big game,, so my question I guess is what's the small game open to nonresidents?
I couldn't navigate my way though the fish & game site to find a list of small game .

only thing I know for sure is that you can hunt things like rabbits...

NON-RESIDENT HUNTERS

Big Game Guided Hunts


Non-residents of British Columbia
hunting big game must be accompanied by
a licensed BC guide. When purchasing big
game species licences, non-residents must
provide the Licensing office with the name
of the guide outfitter, the guide’s licence
number, the management unit(s) in which
the hunt will take place and the dates of
the hunt. On completion of the hunt, nonresidents
must obtain a completed form of
declaration from their guide. Failure to do
so constitutes an offence on the part of the
hunter and the guide.

Big Game Accompanied Hunts


A non-resident of BC who is a resident
of Canada or a Canadian citizen may be
accompanied by a resident of BC who
holds a Permit to Accompany. Only one
Permit to Accompany will be issued to a
person in a licence year.


The BC resident applying for this permit
must be a Canadian citizen or permanent
resident of Canada who has held a BC
hunting licence and a big game species
licence for 3 of the 5 years preceding application
(or 2 of the 5 years preceding application
if the applicant has completed
C.O.R.E).This person must obtain the
required permit at least one month prior
to hunting. Applications for permits are
available at Government Agent offices, the
Permit & Authorization Bureau, or electronically
from the MoE website:

www.env.gov.bc.ca/pasb/applications.
html. (See Wildlife Permits &
Commercial Licences article, page 19.)


The non-residents must show the Permit
to Accompany or a copy indicating the
name of the permittee when purchasing
their big game species licences.


A non-resident who is not a resident of
Canada and is not a Canadian citizen, may
also be eligible under the Permit to
Accompany providing they qualify under
one of the required relationship categories
(ie, if accompanied by a father, brother, son,
uncle, nephew, grandson, grandfather,
mother, sister, daughter, aunt, niece, granddaughter,
grandmother, spouse, father-in-law,
mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law,
brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, but excludes
cousins).


Permits to Accompany may not be available
for all species and areas (for example,
thinhorn sheep). Please contact the Permit
and Authorization Service Bureau toll free
at 1-866-433-7272 (Victoria: 952-0932) for
more information.


Royalties are payable on animals taken
under a Permit to Accompany (see Royalty
Fees section).

Small Game


It is not necessary for a non-resident of
British Columbia to be accompanied by a
licensed guide when hunting for small game
(includes game birds).
