Year of the Bow #4 — Chasing Fallow Deer on Mayne Island a Great First Experience for This New Hunter
Welcome to Hunting and Fishing BC, my podcast about fishing, hunting and other wild pursuits in British Columbia and western Canada.
I’m Robert Koopmans and this week I’m back with Jeremy Jensen talking about first steps in bowhunting. Both of us have decided that this year will be the “Year of the Bow.” We’ve made a commitment to hunt only with a bow and not firearms, and we have set out to gain the skills and knowledge required before this year’s fall hunting season.
In this episode, Jeremy and I met up with Kevin Wood, another newbie to the world of archery and bowhunting. Kevin picked up a bow last fall and dove head-first into the sport. He’s practised continually to develop his archery skills and learn the technical aspects of hunting with a bow.
A few weeks ago, he put it all together for a first-ever hunting trip to Mayne Island BC, where he and a friend chased fallow deer. This is a unique hunting opportunity in BC, one that allows hunters to pursue the introduced exotic all year-round. These deer escaped from a game farm years ago and are overpopulating the small island, which sits in the Strait of Georgia between Vancouver and Vancouver Island.
Kevin had a great trip, and shared with Jeremy and I how it all went down …
