There are also possum on Hornby Island, B.C. They're a nuisance. The eagles like them though.

Re: Off island hunters. Its very scary during hunting season on the islands. You dress your kids in bright orange because these guys seem to shoot anything that moves (they've usually been drinking as well).
They do not respect private property and terrorize the locals with the sound of their guns breaking the silence. Its like an unseen enemy out there. They are also resented for taking game which is needed in the winter.

I sure hope the guys in camoflage don't arrive up here. They might be mistaken for an invading army.
