    Glad to hear you got a few laughs in. I was so nervous, I was shitting bricks. Thanks for coming and listening!

    where does BHA stand on protecting Hunting and Fishing rights?
    Steve-r. We're doing all we can for a small group. We're at the table during the upcoming IMPROVING WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AND HABITAT CONSERVATION meetings with the Province (as are many outdoor recreation groups). The fellas in the Kootenay's have collaborated and put together a round table of stake holders to help guide habitat and wildlife management in Region 4.

    We've set up a letter and met and greet campaign with our region's MLA's and many of our members sit down with their MLA's and tell them hunting and fishing is important to us and we remind those MLA's that we are voters.

    Hope that helps.

    Gun laws should be the concern of any Hunter-based conservation organization.

    325. I don't disagree with your comments. In our case, we're choosing to put the most horsepower into habitat and wildlife. We feel we're better off not diluting the gas in the motor by trying to be everything to every hunter. Hope that helps clarify.

    I've asked a lot of questions and always seem to get dodgy answers.
    Hard to get black and white answers from "official" people in my experience.
    Particularly surrounding motorized access and the BHA supporting the Y2Y initiative.

    I would encourage you to take Mark up on his offer and give him a call, as things can be easily misinterpreted via text.

    If this is correct any hunter or fisherman should be very wary about any organisation linked to the Pew foundation

    This comment in itself makes me feel uneasy and feels like a deflection, but maybe I will go to the meeting & listen.

    With all due respect I disagree, simple yes or no questions should be easily answered.
    The only reason they are being left to interpretation is because they aren't being answered but rather left open ended in Trudeauesque fashion.
    It makes people weary.

    I dont believe you have asked a direct question on this forum. You're talking about motorized access. Are you looking for more? Are you looking to have less? These are misinterpretations that are problematic on a forum.

    As a BHA member for Region 2, I have not seen or heard any discrimination towards a certain way of hunting as long as it is sustainable and not in conflict with other BHA values.

    If you have a certain initiative you are passionate about or want to discuss a topic up that BHA might be able to help with, come to a meeting and bring it up with the group. You dont have to be a member to be at a meeting.
