NOTICE!
SHOT BAN
The use of toxic (lead) shot for hunting waterfowl has been
prohibited in British Columbia since 1995 and in Canada since
1997. The ban applies to all ducks, geese, coots and snipe. It
does not apply to upland gamebirds (grouse, ptarmigan, quail,
partridge, pheasants and turkey), migratory upland gamebirds (pigeons, doves), ravens (where seasons exist), or target
shooting, although a local restriction may be implemented if
there is a conflict with an important wetland.
Federal regulations currently identify steel shot, bismuth shot,
tungsten-iron shot, tungsten-bronze-iron shot, tin shot, tungsten
- matrixshot, and tungsten-polymer shot as the only non-toxic
shot permitted for use on waterfowl, coot and snipe. Hunters
are advised to contact the CWS Canadian Wildlife Service in
Delta (604-350-1950) for more details.
