Let's be clear on one thing btridge ....in no way am I referring to all resident hunters as the "entitlement crowd".
When I refer to the "entitlement crowd" the label is reserved for a select group of individuals that really don't give a shit about wildlife values.
Their only concern is to get all they can with no competition under the pretence they are out harvesting a cheap source of food for their empty gut.
Maybe these same guys should take a hard look at what they are doing to allocated wildlife populations.
Remember btridge when an outfitter gets quota on an allocated species his limit is set.
How about in the case of LEH authorizations.....do you see room for a wreck when LEH "tickets" are handed out at a ratio of 100 plus for every animal targeted for the resident share of the AAH.
With the lack of enforcement we have in this province no one knows if the resident harvest is under achieved, met or exceeded.
Im a resident hunter and a guide as I've said before.
I also want the right to hunt in my backyard as much as any other fellow hunter in BC.
The differance between me and guys like you and Langegger is that I get the big picture.
The "entitlement crowd" only wants to blame the decline in hunting oppurtunities on GO's, FN's hunting, loss of habitat and predation.
NEVER DO THEY ADMIT THEY MIGHT BE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
