the user groups are broken down into guides, trappers and resident hunters

Guides include GOABC, Wildlife Stewardship Council (heavy FN representation), and the Tahltan Guides (heavy FN representation).

Resident hunters include everyone that hunts in the province, but are organized into different associations, like BCWF, Bowhunters, of BC, different Rod and Gun clubs.

The trappers all need to get on the bandwagon as they will be next.

All user groups need to work on give and take rather then trying to hold the other back in hopes of benefiting them selves

Just to clarify.....the Wildlife Stewardship Council consists of guides, FN’s and individuals that have a concern for wildlife.
The Tahltan Guide Outfitter Association is a regional group of guides.....approximately 25% of the membership is FN’s.
We all need to cut the segregation.
Thats what’s winning for the NDP/Greens...dividing hunters from non hunters and the further division into urban, rural and FN’s values.

^^^^^This......yes need one unified and organized voice carrying consistent message. Govmt, and society in general, typically doesn't listen to background noise from bunch of fokes with different opinions and individual agendas squabbling. Why would they. All that does is dilute the message.

Your right about the make up of the WSC, I should have added that.
I don't think there is segregation is near what it was, at least not compared to previous years. There is a push form all hunting groups to work for the same goal, at least in my opinion.
I really think most hunters in the province, FN, residents and the guides all want more animals on the ground, better wildlife management from government, and proper science based utilization of our wildlife.

You really believe there is a 'ring leader'? a single entity to dig out? Someone does, hope you don't too.

This is now officially a conspiracy theory thread.

As for other game I'm sure they will stop the wolf & other fur bearing animals hunt since they are not hunted for food.
The black bear hunt will stay since hunters for over 20 years are forced to take the meat home & there are way, way too many of them.

With the exception of the any black bear found in the GREAT BEAR RAIN FOREST area & its immediate area. The FN & the anti-hunters will use the argument that
"Every time you issue a tag for someone to shoot a black bear in the area , it could be carrying the recessive gene that produces the Kermode aka spirit bear”

Get ready for the management units including the immediate units to close for black bear hunting starting this coming spring.
