RE: Hunting in Canada ( BC )
I haven't seen a copy of B.C.'s hunting regs in a few years but this is how it used to be. A resident of B.C. could act as a guide for a non-resident. But they have to do some planning and preperation. A permit must be acquired in advance of the season.
Have your friend get a copy of the regulations and send them to you (he should be able to get them at most sporting goods stores). Also ask him to ask all his friends and coworkers if any of them hunt and would be willing to help you out.
Good luck to you (30/06 will be fine)

RE: Hunting in Canada ( BC )
Unfortunately, here's the deal.
A Canadian citizen from a province other than B.C. can hunt with a B.C. resident, much as Duffy has described.
A non-Canadian (e.g., American citizen) is required to retain the services of a guide/outfitter. The licenses and requirements to have a guiding area are very strict and such guided hunts are fairly expensive.
About the only exception to this would be if the Canadian with whom you wanted to hunt was a very close relative - parent, sibling, or offspring. More distant relative situations don't count, and this is strictly enforced as well.
Wish I had better news; I have several good American friends and lots of relatives who I would love to take hunting here.
