Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis

The Hunting and Trapping Synopsis is a summary of the B.C. hunting and trapping regulations made under the Wildlife Act (British Columbia), prepared for the convenience of hunters and trappers. The Hunting and Trapping Synopsis sets out general hunting information, summarizes important hunting regulations, and defines the open seasons with maps indicating no hunting, no shooting, and other closed areas.

The 2010 - 2012 edition of the Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis covers two seasons: it will be your guide to hunting and trapping for the 2010/11 and 2011/12 seasons. In the event that there is a need to change a regulation in 2010/11 or 2011/12, the online version will be updated with any changes highlighted in red or check www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/wildlife/hunting/news/
