Hunting in Canada ( BC )
 
A buddy of mine moved to British Columbia a few years ago and has invited me up to visit. He is not a hunter , but if I go I will be hunting. SO my question is : what type of Game is in that area ? Is my 30 06 enough to take the game uo there and when are the different seasons so I can plan my trip. I always see a few guys from Canada in here so I'd appricite the help ey !

Your 30-06 should be fine, depending on what part you are hunting I beleive they have blacktail deer, mulies, bear, and whitetails also. I think but I wouldn't swear to it.

Try this link it lists the hunting regs for the different provinces of Canada in Adobe format. Hope it helps.

The 30-06 should be fine. The others have pretty muched listed most of the game. Have fun its a beautiful place.

They have just about every big game animal that lives in N.America.

I lived in Seattle a couple of years, and went after elk, muleys, and blacktail in the Cascades. Im sure they have those and more in BC.
Im no expert on the larger game, but I think 30-06 with the right load should be ok for elk at limited ranges.

What part of B.C.??? You got to remember B.C. is a very big area.

I lived near Golden, B.C for 5 yrs a few years back and if your friend is not an outfitter, than you as an American cannot legally hunt there unless you hire one.
Correct me if I'm wrong Cannuks. Bobby;)
