Im posting this again.
The number of comments from hunters and outdoorsman is pretty minimal. More and more anti comments are popping up. Do you really want them to outnumber our comments? I have been replying to their uninformed logic as much as I can. I hope to see more comments from this group. It doesn’t take long. Cmon !?!

They were all posted at the same time and repeat the exact same points in the same wording under different names. Under each challenge category. Line, doris, chantal in one all have the exact same points posted at the same time.

I think this is likely one person repeat posting to game the system.

I read some of it, some sounds decent anyways, some will take time and effort first before anything much will change.
Hunters will need to be asked questions also so we can defend our rights first of all.--
-- We are hunters first and hunters are first in conservation and management of wild life.
Jelvis -- Mule deer are my main interest in the Reg 3 area around Kamloops B.C. -- this area is high quality mule deer habitat and needs to stay that way.

There just left a bunch of comments, didn't see too many anti hunter comments fortunately..

[ROY-alty33]

Unless I read it wrong Section 35 protects treaty rights, not a carte blanche to hunt fish etc unless defined under each treaty....

ETA:
I was wrong....Supreme court of Canada upheld that native rights to hunt/fish protected under sec 35

Everyone should take a few moments to comment.

So they ask for feedback, yet when you provide true opinion they moderate it.

Seems to me that the FN do harvest a considerable amount of game which needs to be factored into the inventory, in order to come up with good numbers for management purposes.. what a sham..
