Actually, quite a number of the GOABC members are NOT BC people, there are Americans, Germans and other foreigners involved as "Owners" of GO outfits and they have NOT behaved with integrity or appropriate respect for we who OWN BC/Canada....."what goes around, comes around" in life.....
This, will make foreign hunting here "better" in the short term and some foreigners will laugh and take advantage of the situation, however, it is already motivating comments by BC residents on local hunting forums and in the media about just banning foreign hunting completely.
After the next provincial election, when the current opposition party will very probably form government, I expect a major effort by citizens here to permanently end all foreign hunting and this is quite likely to happen.
The "wild card" here is the aboriginal problem and IF the BCWF and the aboriginals are onside on this, the days of the GOABC and other GOs are numbered.
I consider the GOABC's position on allocation and other resident-related issues to be very shortsighted and even self destructive in the longer term.
