Hi team,

I have recently obtained my FWID and now I am ready to get a license and go hunt. I have two small kids that require my attention at night, so I can only go on day trips, up to 2 hours drive from Coquitlam. I would like to start with some small animal that can be eaten (it doesn't have to be the best meat, I am just not into trophy hunting). I also would like to start ASAP, so I get experienced going out, hunting, skinning etc.

Is there an animal and general area that you recommend me to go this spring and summer? The best I could come up with is grey squirrel, but AFAIK they usually live near the cities, where firearm discharge is not allowed. I have a .22 rifle and a 12ga shotgun.

Thank you for your help!

Marco
