Allocation evolution - This should have been posted early on

[Wagonmaster]

This table tells the whole story. Check out your areas and see just how you will be affected. Your letters to MLA's can then contain facts pertaining to you instead of generalizations that may or may not be true. By looking at the LEH synopsis which will give you a good idea of the total animals available for your hunt (resident plus guide outfitter) you can calculate how much poorer your chances of success will be for your particular hunt. Looking at Region 1 Island Elk, is it worth bothering to apply again? Twenty plus years with no success. Guide allocations have gone from 2% to 10 to 13 to 20. Other hunts not affected nearly as much, but a few per cent here and there will add up.

This is great. Easy to read and understand, awesome

Any chance of putting that into a PDF or something to email?

[Wagonmaster]

I felt all along that in order to assess the new numbers you needed to know the old. They never seemed to appear. I put out a request a couple of days ago and Deaddog was good enough to send me an email. I don't think Deaddog would mind me forwarding the email to you Gatehouse and then you could see what you could do. Let me know.

GG had showed another chart for Kootenay moose that went back to the early 90's, maybe even into the 80's. The evolution, or I should say erosion of our allocation didn't start in the 21st century.

[Whonnock Boy]

To note as well, those numbers regarding Island elk appear minuscule, however they translate into 20 animals per year, or 20 hunts of a lifetime per year.

[Island Redneck]

Your numbers for Roosevelt Elk in region one are wrong, in the mid 80's I had a quota of 7 elk per year, which was 5-6% of the total allocation in my guide area and I was the only outfitter on the Island to have an Elk allocation at that time.

Has been posted.
I can email you a PDF of JPG if you like.

What you posted is different adriaticum.....the previous post has several different years and not just the 2014 allocation policy

On a related note, it would be interesting to see this information on a graph....showing the rise in GO Allocations and the drop in Resident allocations over the years!
