Definative MU boundry maps??

[Steeleco]

Is there a source of management unit maps that give a CLEAR definitive line on what's what?

I hunt and area that was believed to be reg 8 for some time. If I look in the regs it would appear that I'm correct. After looking in a "Back country" map book I may have actually been hunting reg 3.

Should I tag and animal based on the map book I might just get in hoo hah?

So where do I find out "for sure" which is right? I don't want to have an argument with a dude in a blue truck who's just doing his job.

And please don't say "if in doubt don't shoot" because if I followed that advice, I'd likely stay home!!

I would suggest that seeing as the boys in blue need to enforce these boundaries, they have the most accurate maps. A telephone call to a CO, would more than likely send you in the appropriate direction for attaining these maps. Most follow highways or rivers or heights of land, so there could be a "grey area".

David,

I was told this book is the "bible" for MU boundaries:

I always take my copy with me during hunting season.

Cheers!

Thanks James, that book I have. I was using the Kamloops/OK reg book when I found the shocking info.

The little gray picture in the reg's BITES!!!!
It would be nice to have a map that has a GPS ref grid, that way it would be much more clear.

I would talk to the boys.

I had the same question about the shotgun only area.
i was pleasantly surprised.
i was probly off by 1.5k or more

Stanway is right on. If you look at the top of each region map in the hunting trapping regs in little letters it says:

"These M.U. boundaries are approximate only. For a more precise definition consult the BC Recreational Atlas,6th edition"

Thanks Burger, that's great info. Now suddenly I can take a deer in what I thought was reg 8, but isn't!!!!

try google earth as it shows the regional line, it's usually following the high points of land.

[winbuckhunter]
