How much damage could a band of 80 members do?
How much damage could a band of 80 members do?
The measure of a man is not how much power he has, it's how he wields it.
If I'm not mistaken, the transplanted elk outside Kimberly/ Creston were shot out in 1 year by the First Nations peoples in the area. Damage is doable. We have allocations and laws/ regulations for a reason.
Update: the 3rd leh bull was taken yesterday at Pitt. Yes there were 3 tags this year.
ἀλήθεια
Make like a baby and head out!
It is not a tradition - it is bullshit.
You can try to claim it was, but the extremely little information that exists in this regard points to fishing practices with a torch at night - NOT hunting.
And you are further in error claiming this dangerous and abhorrent practice is a "right" written into the Constitution.
It is in fact, a legal "right" bestowed upon a single band on the Saanich Peninsula by our wacked out Supreme Court.
It is only by extension (fear of losing the court battle) this so-called "right" has been extended to other bands in BC, and in fact, across Canada. As such, it has no Constitutional Protection as you assert, and can likely be challenged on the grounds of public safety.
And you continue to miss the point. The CO who turns a blind eye has been ordered to do so. Should he ignore those marching orders, he WILL face disciplinary action. And, it will never ever get to court even if he does lay charges against his superiors' desires, they will be certain to nullify any such action. The problem does not lie at the CO level. Period.

Guess he got to Know me
^^^I agree with challenging the supreme courts decision to let them hunt at night, considering public safety...I wonder what would be the best way to do it..
If they are from the Coquitlam Band I'm surprised the Katzie Band isn't upset about it.

“Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”
I agree with an article I read recently; the next wars in North America will be civil wars.
I have no idea what the 2 bands relationship is like between themselves?
I can only imagine that the Katzie aren't happy if all this is true.
(my friend who had this seasons draw got to know a few of the locals very well, and I suspect the owner, who holds a great deal of property up there will be the one to ask).
Unless the 2 bands made a "backroom deal"???? BUT, that would be only speculation on my part, and there is
nothing to support that....just so you all are aware.
The lunacy in this all, by the Coq Band is....these elk were, to best of my knowledge, never "traditional prey" for
them to hunt.
I think in the end....that's what makes me the most mad.
We try to introduce species, like Roosevelt Elk, into an area where they can thrive, in areas where they aren't
"traditionally", and maybe in hopes of adding hunting opportunities for all of us....but in the end, these chances
for everyone get taken away....and sorry if this sounds so racist to some, but it seems to be one group who
just feels like it's there right....
Here they are given the chance at a species that can be very enjoyable to hunt, and the meat is fantastic, and they
just "beat it up" just before it gets going really well....
Sorry, but just makes me angry that this happens....and makes it even harder to become "Accepting" of
"Cultural Differences".....in the end, it makes we want to see it disappear.
It's just gone too far.....there is no logic in sustaining this anymore, if this is the "thanks" in the end.
Double post. See below.

I believe that the historical record indicates that though once widespread throughout southern BC, human activity and expansion slowly extinguished the elk on the mainland, leaving only Vancouver Island to support this species in Canada.
Of course we are now all familiar with the reintroductions onto the South Coast.
