View Full Version : Quad hunting in the am
Hi folks:
Could I trouble someone to post where in the regs it says one can't hunt with a quad in the morning? I was thinking about getting a quad but I want to iron this out first.
Thank in advance.

You would have to look through every specific area. Vehicle restrictions are area specific. Check your areas and if they aren't restricted at all go for it.

Isn't that an Alberta hunting regulation?
BC regs just mention loaded rifles on motorized vehicles (NOT allowed) and vehicle prohibited areas.

No in some areas in BC you can't use a four wheeler at all for hunting, and some you can't use one till after 10am.

No that is incorrect like shooter states it is MU specific. Figure out where you want to Hunt look up the regs for that MU. If you are still unclear as to the area call the nearest CO office and tell them the land marks nearest your destination and they will guide you. Can be tough to get hold of them but I am guessing the regs will spell it out for you..

I was hunting in 7-58 a few years ago, we took quads with us for hunting. Some guy stopped me as I was returning to camp the first day, he gave me the lecture on reading the Reg's and following the rules about the quad restrictions! So, I kind of agreed with him, yes I was a dick for riding my quad at first light, happy to see you guys don't ride until 10am, good bye sir!!! I rode the quad every day, rode past there camp each time before day break!!! A few days later I was stopped by the CO's at around 9am, they checked my gun, asked if I was seeing any game etc. I asked them if they see many quads around in the morning? No they said, most people read the Regs wrong and think all the roads and trails are restricted, by it's only the Designated Trails marked out in the map, also there is a elevation ban. My point being, read the Regs, and if in doubt, e-mail a CO and they will tell you yes or no! What MU are you hunting? Post it and we all can check it.
Just an example from region 7A
