    BCWF-Conservation group fears proposed regulations favour trophy hunt




    “It’s gone totally away from science-based decision making to more socially justified decisions,” he said.

    “If it was a conservation issue, that’s a different story, but turning residents into trophy hunters doesn’t make sense.”


    BCWF President Harvey Andrusak speaks on the proposed changes to the Skeena bull moose hunt.

    It's easier to manage hunters, then it is to do the controversial thing, like manage the Wolf numbers.

    Just like a hunter to inject the 'trophy' word into a discussion as though it is poison

    Maybe Andrew Weaver has something to say about this in his address at the BCWF AGM

    Hmmm, If it walks like an Anti, sounds like an Anti and looks like an Anti, it is probably an Anti!!!

    Can’t spike fork bulls be harvested under the proposed changes as well as 3 brow points or 10 total points to a side. If that’s the case it can hardly be called a trophy hunt.
    Looks like someone is either misinformed, can’t read the proposed reg change or is on a mission to stir up a fight.

    I have heard that the Fed is getting ready to ramp up the resident versus non- resident debate once again. They are virtue signaling to the anti crowd by saying hunting for a trophy is somehow morally wrong. The real push is to cut big money out of conservation in BC because Raincoast knows the Residents alone don't have the funds to fight them. Are the residents ready to fight another war with fellow hunters so they can loose it all to Raincoast?

    If the BCWF is signaling again to the anti hunting crowd about Trophy Hunting , are they still handing out awards to the Largest Trophys at the AGM ???

    I bet I can guess who this might be... part of the process? Or should I say part of the problem...

    As for the troll by 223, I have a question ... rhetorical as it might be.

    When less than 10% of yearling bull moose in North Skeena are spike/forks, and 0% of the two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten year old etc... bull moose are spike/forks ... how can you not agree that this regulation is not forcing BC resident hunters to target the older "trophy" bulls.

    Add to that the fact this restriction is only proposed for the areas BC resident hunters prefer to hunt ... and what do you have!?

    The answer is obvious!
    Isn’t this regulation already in place in Region 7B?
    How many bulls over 4 years old achieve tri palm/10 point status?
    Maybe taking the crosshairs off of the percentage of bulls that are not spike fork, tri palm/10 point will stop them from disappearing off the landscape such as seems to be happening in many places.
    The answer is very obvious that the management of wildlife such as we have historically seen in the past due to the steering of an organization that has been driven to live by the agenda of unhindered access and unlimited harvest oppurtunity has not worked.
    Anyone can see what the wording of this article is leading up to. More division between hunters.
    The BCWF has proposed resolutions on the table that will reopen the allocation war.
    The BCWF has invited Andrew Weaver to be a speaker and partake in their AGM.
    Someone has an agenda, they are on a mission to fulfill that agenda and they do not care if hunting exists in this province in the future.
