Glad to see they got more than a slap on the wrist.
By the way, when i was going through the Yukon this summer, I was surprised at the harvest reports in the Game Regs, and just how small the big game harvest is in the Yukon.

Hi Fred,
Although the Yukon is huge, the population here is only about 32,000, with approximately 4000 licences issued each year, including non-residents.
That is part of the reason the hunting is as good as it is. As well, the laws are strong enough to protect wildlife, and dissuade both residents and non-residents from violating those laws.
Consequently the harvest levels are much lower than if, for instance, one did not have to bring out all the meat from a hunt in the hinterland, or could just land a plane and shoot game.
In Alaska, as Art has already posted here, you cannot even hunt the same day as you fly.
Sorry we missed you while you were up here. We must have crossed paths after you left Eagle.
Ted
