I Cannot BELIEVE the STUPID Black Bear LEH in the QCIslands ! another POPULOUS BullSh*t deal just like the G bear Ban ! jmo RJ
Sorry for the Derail ! :shock:
I was there the last year of it being open for general open season. There were only a couple of posters around in queen charlottes city, stating an end to the bear hunt. Something about it being spiritual etc. the very next yearly went to leh with 1 or 2 rags handed out only. Weird weird weird. Tones and tones of bears there on that trip. Too many in my opinion. We reduced the numbers by a bit.
They could have a 50 + Bear LEH's Easily there ! Hippies and FN's ! Leaf Lickers - Flower Sniffers ! and POLITICIANS got it all FU*KED up ! :evil: RJ
Watches the same video I believe. They were flown into a remote part of the west coast of the island. Hiked to alpine and hunted Bucks with bows in hand. I think they took a couple. Saw many deer and looked like weather cooperated. Saw lots of bears too. Was a good watch. I tried to find it again but couldnt
The Charlottes is the only place in BC that I have ever hunted and felt unwelcome. One of our group was actually singled out for wearing camo and told he wasn't wanted there by the lady shuttle driver that took us from the airport into town. As to the hunting... five of us in two groups, all experienced international hunters, shot exactly 0 deer in 5 days. Saw one little buck at the ferry terminal parking lot and one spike near top of one mountain. That was it.
We walked for miles on old grown in roads, carefully walked along beaches and road hunted the north and south islands in what was basically a week of typhoons. None of us had ever seen rain coming in horizontally in sheets before.
I did get the drop on a solid black bear and then noted right at point of shot that there were cubs present. Too bad as that was the last year of open black bear season in The Charlottes.
Ended up going to Alaska's Admiralty Island out of Juneau with some of the same group to get our Sitkas. I would like to go back as it's not normally like that.
I wouldn’t rule out hunting the bogs too. Hike into Naikoon park or take a quad down the beach towards rose spit (have to stay out of the ecological reserve). I saw some nice 4 point bucks last fall. Some of the bogs are like huthe African Savanah - really cool looking with visibility for hundreds of metres and easy to walk through.
