Upland bird hunting

The HVCC provides members with upland game bird hunting opportunities on private farms on Vancouver Island.

Each farm is licensed by the Provincial government to release both Ring Neck Pheasants and Chukar Partridges for hunting by our members.

Most hunting is the traditional walk up kind where the birds are located and retrieved by the hunter’s dog.  The member is required to book the farm in advance and specify how many birds he wishes concealed in the field by the farmer in advance of the hunt.

While the traditional walk up hunt is the norm, the Club does offer English or European high pheasant shoots several times during the season.  The member is required to pre-register for these scheduled high pheasant days.

The farms have been chosen for their natural beauty and physical features to ensure a high quality bird hunting experience in terms of cover, privacy and safety.

As our birds are released under government permit the HVCC season is not bound by the Provincial regulations in terms of bag limit and season length.  Generally, our season starts in later September and ends in December.
