Heard a lot of rumours lately

It rained an inch, to an inch and a half in the caribou in most places. Night time temps east of Williams lake are 7 and 5 degrees C. Daytime was 12 and 17 degrees C. More rain forecasted. Watch for the new growth in the burnt patches.
Talk to some fire fighters and they will tell you animals run ahead of the fire.

The only thing shutting down hunting in the Cariboo or anywhere else would achieve is adding more financial hardship to the economy which is already suffering from the fires. Motels, gas stations, restaurants etc get a needed shot from hunting season. Its an emotional time and I tip my hat for the thoughts on not putting any extra hardship on the game but really, it is zilch in the big picture. There's a ton of new open country well away from roads that they can cover miles in a hurry they'll find feed and they'll be fine. ps I've got no dog in the race no plans to hunt there this year.

You nailed it Salty.

If hunters want to help, take a trip to Region 5 and help out local economy by filling up those hotels, eating at local restaurants etc. The loss of infrastructure, livestock and the like is unfortunate and I truly feel for those people but, when it comes to wildlife, they will be fine.

Agreed!

Stop by the Hungry Bear and have their big burger. You won't have to eat for a day afterward!
