Do they support the North American Conservation Model?
Is this organization some of the same group that put out the Whitetail ads earlier? There are a lot of selfish, ignorant, folks in the kootenays that want to keep others out, and its all about the antlers.
If this organization has a wolf lover on their board, then I don't want any part of it. I am with Texas Walker.
If you want broad support then you have to support a broad range of hunters.
Any board member should have to sign a memorandum supporting a wolf cull, proper wildlife management. If they won't. they aren't worth pigeon shit.
What they stand for is easily accessible on the net...if you are willing to look. Who is a part of it and their views can be learned from attending the meetings or contacting Bill Hanlon. He is an upstanding guy and will be honest with you. What you believe and what you believe you are entitled to is up to you. What our province can manage for may be a different story. If we band together to lobby the government for our future benefits then we can move forward. If not, we may be contributing to the downward spiral of our wilderness and wildlife resourses. And "Yes", I personally do not equate wilderness with unfettered ATV or other motorized vehicle (snow mobiles) access...just so that is clear.
