Elk and white tail are expanding across bc. Moose and mule deer are contracting.
I would say these two statements are generally true, and the reasons are varied.
The main things threatening our hunting future are the urban elite looking at hunting as a negative, first nations taking greater control of all natural resources, and habitat loss.
Hunting pressure and predators are non starters for me.
True for elk. Worked on the Alaska highway from Pink mt. to Yukon in the 60's & 70's & never saw an elk or a buffalo-now there is an open season.
They tried to introduce elk West of Fraser but unfortunately that failed due to some pressure from ranchers if I recall. Too bad! Elk used to inhabit the area not that long ago whereas moose did not.
Don't understand the white tail season in 5-03. Never saw one in the area. But always buy a tag just in case.
Also read/heard that wild turkeys are migrating west, slowly but surely!

^^^just look at how wt are expanding in reg 3 with the liberal seasons, I think they're trying to keep pressure on wt in regions 3 and 5 to really keep those areas muley strongholds..
If you build it, they will come.....
That's habitat for you.
Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

I do concur. I'm shooting a lower class of bucks than Chopper is, and I'm not against a meat buck, but the old guys I talk to tell me that the areas I hunt are "shot out" so they don't bother. Ya gotta go north young man! The chilcotin is where to hunt!
I see a lot of deer, bear, and elk when I'm hunting. Wolves, the odd cat on a trail cam. Dad never filled tags like we do when he was our age.
The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.
