I guess I'm confused, when a person I know went hunting in region 5 in October and the group proceeded to obliterate NINE 2 pt, this is a good thing for the mule deer populations? then can proceed to another area and kill 9 more 2pt. So if those 2pt were to live and get bigger and smarter, then produce more 2pt, does this not help the populations, if the group went hunting, and it was a 4pt or better reg, how many deer do you think would have been shot? I would guess maybe 2. I do understand habitat is a key role, but I just can't get around the fact that people think killing the young 2pt deer has no effect on deer populations.
Everyone should sit through the presentation AND the question and answer.

Build Habitat habitat habitat, road deactivation, be rid of any buck season, kill more predators bear, coyote, wolf, cats, stop the year round slaughter of any deer by a certain group.
All the above would be a start.
No , I mean obliterate, not harvest, if you had feed in your hand good chance they would come up to you to have looksee, and who said the second deer was 100 miles apart, you can hunt region 5 and 3 right across the river, pretty much the same area, this is the case with many MU'S
How is the making more animals projects going? Dead in the water in BC. We have decline but still want to take the same amount
Reality is if I want better deer hunting I go hunt with my buddies in Alberta. BC is lost in magical thought that its special and its deer are special and can take more
What good is opportunity when it's piss poor and quality going down hill?
I can walk around the bush with a gun without a deer season
Just shut everything down for everyone that should be good for populations.
Some had better hope that other “certain group” never starts collecting and providing the numbers that their people harvest.
Last I knew, that “certain group” were constitutionally allotted 50% of the annual harvest of wildlife.
Its not going to look real good if data is collected and that “certain groups” harvest falls far short of the percentage given to them.
Its easy to blame habitat loss, predators and other “certain groups” for the decline in wildlife and its really difficult to scrutinize the impact we may be having ourselves....but we had better look at it.
Wildlife management in this province is redundant and the thought process behind it stinks.
BC has managed all wildlife on an opportunity basis....there has been little consideration given to the future.
