The FACT is that, due to gross mismanagement of BC's resources and the corporate con-game being currently played to sucker the aboriginals into cooperation with the ripoff of our energy resources, we BCers, do NOT HAVE enough game for our own needs.
Last year was my 50th season, now crippled by an old, very severe injury, I still went out and hunted as is my absolute birthright. I did not shoot anything, don't mind as we three older folks don't require much "red" meat, but, I found VERY few tracks in an area of the Kootenays, where there were scores only a few seasons ago.
We NEED to completely revamp our hunting policies and I favour a total of 6% of ANY species for "non-resident alien" trophy collectors and 4% reserved for our fellow Canadians from other provinces. This, would total 10% for "non-residents" both Canadian and foreign and that is enough.
But, I think that $$$$$$ will win in the end........
