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.

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 March.
