Compulsory Wildlife Inspections in B.C.
Compulsory Inspected species must be submitted to a CI Inspector for the purpose of taking measurements or parts of the animal required for management (ie, tooth) within 30 days of the kill as a requirement under the B.C. Hunting Regulations.
Hunters are not in legal possession of the wildlife unless they comply with compulsory inspection requirements – please see the Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis for clarification.
The following species of game must be submitted to a regional compulsory
inspection centre:
grizzly bear
mountain goat
cougar
mountain sheep
caribou
elk taken in Regions 2, 8 and 7 (MUs 7-2 to 7-18, 7-23 to 7-30, 7-37 to 7-41)
cow moose in MUs 7-7, 7-10, 7-16 and 7-23 taken during the LEH season from Dec 1-7 (parts must be submitted to Prince George MoE Regional Office, 4051 18th St within 5 days of the kill).
Changes to Regional Inspection Stations
Compulsory Inspections for Hunter Harvest are now provided through qualified CI Inspectors in 27 locations throughout B.C.
The information obtained through inspections helps the province to base decisions about wildlife management on sound science.
The new system will be more efficient, cost-effective and convenient for hunters and will allow government staff to concentrate on priorities such as enforcing the Wildlife Act.
All information an Inspector receives on behalf of the Ministry is confidential.
Note: Compulsory Inspection Stations are open by appointment only
