Where does the BCWF stand on allocation NOW.

There is a BCWF board meeting next Thursday in Fernie. I know allocation and the RAHPF will be discussed.

The official stance has always been the 07 policy. The "marching orders" of 90/10 across the board have not, as of yet, been implemented. Will they ever? Your guess is as good as mine.
I certainly hope so.Originally Posted by btridge

So do we have an official policy after the AGM that the BCWF is going to push for?
All I can seem to find is that if and when game populations increase the resident share is to increase. Isn't this tantamount to blessing Thompson's February decision?

As far as I know, it is being worked on, and you're not the first to raise this question.

are you speaking on behalf of the BCWF?
I can't find an official position as to what kind of allocation split they are supporting now.

In a nutshell, this is whats being considered as an approach.
What we have now is not working, and the Government is not listening.
LEH IS going online next year- licensing too.
The BCWF IS moving forward with Resident Priority (a dedicated program with employees)- this is going to take a bit to get running properly but it IS a huge step for us.
These are the directions we are pushing to the Government
Wildlife is funded and managed consistent with the intent ofNAWCM
• Wildlife populations managed for abundance consistent withhabitat capability
• Resident hunter priority is attained
• Move to change supporting legislation/policy/procedure
• As wildlife populations increase allocated share for residenthunters increase
• Support current resolution
• Retiring small territories in areas of high resident use
• Increase minimum territory size
• Funding model is created by 2018
• Wildlife population recovery in areas where a >30%reduction in harvest/pop estimate in last 30 years by 2025
• As wildlife populations increase, resident proportionincreases
Retiring/amalgamating current territories
We realize we are not going to make everyone happy with this approach, but it's moving forward for the betterment of wildlife.

Sure looks good to me, I hope some of it happens!

What if wildlife populations are already at carrying capacity? How can it increase if habitat will not support greater populations? Do we want more grizzlies in the Kootenay's? Sheep are already at historic levels in most regions. How will we ever get more than 60% if this is the case?
Is the "current resolution" the 90/10 - 75/25 "marching orders"?
If our current government agrees to all of these terms, can we trust that they will follow through? Not me....
