Re: Non res Sask Hunter
Craigo, from what I've been reading, it's loud and clear that there are a number of B.C. resident hunters that want it all for themselves - the same as Alberta and other places. Fair enough, if they have no desire to expand their experiences and will never go anywhere out of their own provinces to hunt, fish, or utilize any other resource. I hope that they are the minority and that in the future, we (especially in Canada) can share our particular resources to enhance and expand our hunting - or whatever - experiences. I have not hunted or even been to Sask. but would love to go there some day. I have been lucky to have hunted and fished in Alberta and the experiences are unique and excellent and I've met many great people and made lifelong friends. At this time, B.C. hunters are dealing with some emotional issues and seem to be very defensive. Alberta and Sask. have seen some bad winters and the decline in animal numbers have gotten their resident hunters to be defensive as well. The main concern should be to maintain healthy wildlife populations and fairly allocate the surpluses for hunting. Everyone has their idea of what "fairly" is.
Each provinces' management policies has good and bad ideas, depending on point of view - you just have to take advantage of what opportunities there are.
