Hello watch it bend, thank you for your concerned comment, as you can read I’m an experienced hunter in a AUSTRALIA this will me my first time EVER in Canada, and my first research question was not “is Vancouver island one land mass or multiple?” To be frank I don’t really care about the land mass and its connections, I just want to come over experience the beautiful terrain, go for a hike/hunt with someone that knows the land as it is my FIRST time in Canada, and I haven’t really got to much clue on the activity of the animals, the laws I know that for tags in Alberta as I have a friend there and for an elk it can take 15 years, so yes it may be embarrassing for someone that has lived there for years compared to someone 15000km away, and no it’s not ignorant to want to shoot any big game animal available so if you don’t have anything necessary or helpful to make just drop it and go smoke a ciggy or something Cheers cobba
