Stop applying to LEH like it's a lottery ticket.
Vancouver Island hunting intelligence reports helping Island hunters think through LEH applications — odds vs. opportunity, hunt-code tradeoffs, access realism, and backup strategy. No secret spots. No guarantees. Just clearer decisions before the deadline.
Starting on Vancouver Island. Expanding across BC as we validate the format.
Most LEH applications are guesses dressed up as strategy.
You stare at the LEH list. You pick a buddy's old hunt code. You apply for the unit with "good odds" without checking whether the tag is even huntable for someone with your access, your time off, and your truck.
Then the draw hits. You either pull a tag you can't use, or you draw nothing and watch general season pass without a backup.
We don't tell you which code to apply for. We teach you how to read the draw — odds vs. tag count, access realism, season timing, and what your Plan B looks like when the draw doesn't go your way.

Bi-weekly issues focused on Vancouver Island, plus extras. Practical thinking, not abstract theory.
Opportunities, News, Regulations
Tag counts, season length, and what the probabilities actually means.
News hot out of the barrel
Cartridges for every game, investiment, laws and regulations.
What is being done and why
Units, their overall access, terrain type and how weather affects access.
Every voice out there
Stories and anecdotes from general-season hunt and folks tales.
Analysis Bits and Pieces
Useful information throughout the season intervals coming straight from our statistical labs.
Broader Space
A message from the men and women that tailor our gear, forge our spears, and guide our paths.
What's inside every LEH Strategy Report
Every report walks the same four-step framework — odds, hunt-code fit, access realism, and a Plan B for when the draw doesn't go your way.
Odds vs. opportunity
Why a 1-in-30 hunt code can be a worse pick than a 1-in-8. Tag counts, season length, and what the math actually means.
Species, sex, season, terrain
How to compare codes by what you actually want — meat, antlers, late-season weather, spike-fork vs. any-bull, alpine vs. valley.
Can you actually hunt the tag?
Roads, gates, ferry windows, time-off math. The most common reason a drawn tag goes unfilled is access — not animals.
If you don't draw, what then?
A repeatable framework for structuring your general-season hunt around the units, species, and weeks you didn't draw.
Strategy frameworks, not a guarantee.
