My fishing pals and I were discussing hunting the other day. We were thinking it might be fun to go for some birds, perhaps ducks, geese, or upland game such as grouse etc. Not really into larger game at all.

I've been reading a bit online, trying to find a BC hunting site sorta like Rod's here or the FishBC page, but to no avail.

Wondering if any of you experienced dudes might know where to point me in the right direction for bird hunting here in BC.

I guess we will have to get our Federal firearms permits, plus the BC hunting course?

(i can forsee spending alot more money)

I've always wanted to try grouse hunting with a shotgun.

Shotgun ? You won't have much to eat after you remove all the buckshots. ;D

there may be a few resident deer around squamish, no doubt VERY wary of people. I would wait till frost is hitting around pemberton then try squamish area, the deer should be on the move through there by 1st week of october. Blacktails are a tough deer to hunt, if you find one of thier migration routes though, they will be there year after year.

I dream of shooting one in squamish... my dad has tried so many times and has had no luck..... i was in chiliwack last year when it was open for 4 point and got into a 2 point.  I didnt shoot obviously but what an amazeing sight when the deer saw me. He lept for miles...

many of the blacktails from the upper lilloet valley migrate above squamish and pemberton, up hurley pass, but again, best time to hunt them is october. ambush tactics seem to produce better than the walk and stalk like we typically do for mulies. Blackies are as spooky as white tails and will simply vanish if they get an inkling that somethings up. find deer trails with major sign and sit on them.

 ;D ;D

You wanna kill a deer in Squamish, just ask Rodney how to do it. 
OK so it wasn't really hunting, but he killed it, nevertheless.
