I haven't seen a copy of B.C.'s hunting regs in a few years but this is how it used to be. A resident of B.C. could act as a guide for a non-resident. But they have to do some planning and preperation. A permit must be acquired in advance of the season.

Have your friend get a copy of the regulations and send them to you (he should be able to get them at most sporting goods stores). Also ask him to ask all his friends and coworkers if any of them hunt and would be willing to help you out.

Good luck to you (30/06 will be fine)
