Hunting Regulations

Agencies

Hunting is strictly regulated by the British Columbia Fish and Wildlife Recreation and Allocation Branch. All hunters, whether resident or non-resident, must obtain a license. Visit the British Columbia Fish and Wildlife Recreation and Allocation Branch web site for more information.

Non-Residents

All non-residents are required to be accompanied by a licenced guide while hunting big game, i.e. deer, mountain sheep, mountain goat, moose, caribou, elk, cougar, wolf, grizzly bear, black bear, lynx, bobcat, and wolverine. Guides are not required while hunting small game, i.e. game birds, migratory game birds, fox, raccoon, coyote, skunk and hare.
