My freezers full, so don't need anyone shooting me any bucks, I was just asking out of curiosity, never thought of deer hunting so close to home.

Any hunting I do close to town I keep to myself,  most areas are archery only ( no firearms) most are extremly difficult access,  it took me years to figure the spots out , never mind how to get into them. I takes many hours of google earth and calls to municipality and forestry offices, so I don't mean to offend but I come from the old school of hard work and time .....vrs the internet

I was up moose hunting, on Blackwater road, there are lots of roads up there that branch off of it. I understand your point, I saw some bucks in the valley but I was unaware  big game hunting was available in the lowermainland, it was just a question out of curiosity. If you guys need any spots to hunt deer, I could help you out. Most are atleast a 3 hour drive though, nothing real close to home.
