HELP DEFEND OUR RIGHT TO HUNT IN BC! A message from the Wild Sheep Society of BC


If we told you that sheep were endangered, what would your reaction be?
Would it be one of emotion- filled with anger and disappointment or would you question the motivation behind this statement and fight back with science and fact?


If we told you that you could do something about it and make a difference, would you take that stand?
We cannot afford to sit back and stay complacent nor silent anymore.




This is the fight we are facing as hunters and consumptive users of our backcountry in British Columbia.




Unfortunately, once again social pressures are being used to try to pull the regulations lever to close regulated hunting in British Columbia.
The Wild Sheep Society of B.C is against this latest attempt to ban hunting of ‘large carnivores’ in our Province.


Thinly veiled under the guise of conservation, a concerted attack is now in place against ‘large carnivores’- specifically named are black bears, cougars, wolves and elk as they are mentioned as ‘trophy hunted only’.


Noted in this same push by anti-hunting groups are bighorn sheep, part of our very life blood as an organization. We know firsthand that these sheep are so much more than the ‘trophy’ as claimed- that they are an icon of the hills that we care so passionately about. And that through our annual sheep counts as volunteers, know that there are no dangers of extirpation.


Why should I care?
While you yourself may not hunt predators, this is the proverbial death by 1000 cuts that slowly erodes our opportunity to hunt. The grizzly bear hunt was just the tip of the iceberg, and this must be our hill to die on. They will come for more. It is not hard to see when you read between the lines that they want a complete removal of hunting as a whole.
