Cry me a river.
You, and all other resident hunters were sold a bill of goods by the outfitters with backing from the bow association. They did not actually lie though, for you see by cutting Hunter Hosted Non-Resident Canadian Draws out of the picture, you
will realize an increase in your success rates. At the recognized 1.2 % those draws represent, that equals an extra tag for you
ONCE EVERY 100 YEARS!
Hope you and your lot are happy with that outcome.
The Alberta Fish & Wildlife Association passed
ALL proposals internally (of course with support from the outfitters and the bow association). It now goes up to the Ministry there for approval. Since that ministry was in collusion for those proposals, that is likely simply a matter of a rubber stamp.
Rather nice of our neighbors to eff us over so finely eh?
Already a few I know over here are talking retaliation in the form of preventing any and all Alberta hunters from coming to BC on our hunting host program,
and increasing fishing licenses for them by an exorbitant rate.
Part of me agrees, as I am pissed right off at their selfish, overly protectionist behavior. Behavior undertaken while being led by the nose into believing what they are doing will make a difference, when in fact it will not.
On the other side of the coin I am resistant to those suggestions, for I would hate to see us sink as bloody
low as they currently are...
Bloody mess.
Once again proving to me just how gullible and self centered so damn many in the hunter's so called Community really can be...
Sadly,
