Hunting in British Columbia

The many acres of diverse habitats we've conserved across British Columbia offer a wealth of opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts.

Property Access in British Columbia

It is your responsibility to ensure you are adhering to individual property rules and regulations, with appropriate permissions and permits. We are pleased to be able to provide opportunities for the public to enjoy some Ducks Unlimited Canada-owned properties. We can only give permission to DUC owned properties, so it is your responsibility to know where the boundaries are and ensure you are not accessing any other private properties. These are truly special places that the support of our members, the local community, and other important funders, have helped us secure and protect. Please respect them and other properties as you enjoy their beauty.

Important: You agree that you access Ducks Unlimited Canada property at your own risk. You also agree to waive any right of action against Ducks Unlimited Canada for any injury or loss you may suffer while on these sites.

Accessing Ducks Unlimited Canada Properties

Ducks Unlimited Canada acknowledges, respects, and supports the rights of Indigenous Peoples and will support Indigenous subsistence harvesting when and where possible. All those accessing Ducks Unlimited Canada lands must be respectful of the land by cleaning up after themselves and being cognizant and respectful of fellow users. Hunters are reminded that some of these properties have public trails on them and must ensure the safety of all users. Please note that not all Ducks Unlimited Canada projects are the sole property of Ducks Unlimited Canada. Where a Ducks Unlimited Canada project is a partnership with a private landowner (such as in conservation agreements or easements), the user must seek permission via Ducks Unlimited Canada.

As part of ongoing habitat management, users should be aware of the potential for operations on the property such as haying or grazing. Please leave gates as you found them, do not destroy crops and do not hunt if animals are grazing. Also, there may be Ducks Unlimited Canada staff and contractors working on the property.

Hunting on Ducks Unlimited Canada lands in Brisith Columbia

The following guidelines must be followed:

Permanent blinds or structures are prohibited on Ducks Unlimited Canada-owned projects. All portable blinds and stands must be clearly marked with the name and phone number of the owner.

In addition, visitors are asked to be careful not to leave any trace of their passage, and therefore, to pick up all their garbage.

Trapping of furbearing animals is allowed on some Ducks Unlimited Canada lands. Trappers require a valid fur trapping license and must follow all the regulations outlined in the hunting and trapping regulations synopsis found on the Government of British Columbia website.

Any breach of the above guidelines will result in the loss of access to the property by the trapper.
