Fallow Deer Hunting Methods on Vancouver Island
Based on the BC Government's hunting and tracking synopsis, the permitted deer hunting methods on Vancouver Island are the same for every subspecies. So, as same as black-tailed deer hunting, fallow deer hunting methods include rifle (centrefire) hunting, shotgun hunting, and bow hunting.
Imagine you are observing three fallow deer in a row with a space of at least five meters between each. If you want to take them all down, you need to aim first and second to have a weapon that doesn't slow you down. In that case, rifles are the best choice.
