    So which organization to join?

    So I have been a member at one time or another of WSSBC, RMEF, BCWF. Was not real happy with any of them.

    I’ve been wanting to join something again, start paying back for what I take. BHA is on the list, so is Goat Alliance and one or two of the previously mentioned organizations.

    As a resident hunter and conservationist, what is everyone feeling gives us the best representation and why?

    All those organizations are about putting animals on the land. They aren't hunting organizations at the base level. They just use hunting as a tool. Like the rest of us. Well except maybe BHA

    If i had to choose only one the WSSBC would be it but in reality all of them need more support.

    There are plenty of conservation organisations. Organisations that support BC resident hunters is non existant in BC IMO.

    WSSBC has kept on track and them recently stepping up with their program to educate the public I have to give them the most credit. Down side sheep is their priority

    SCI has promise but they need a few strong active members to help them grow and become more organized

    BCWF I am not really impressed with but they do have the odd good project. Their efforts are mainly southern BC

    BHA I recommend doing as much research as you can before you give them a dime. At this time they fall under no way in hell in my opinion.

    Truth of the matter is WSSBC is about the best BC has at this moment in my opinion so don’t expect better from the others. BC needs a new hunting org to represent hunters in BC big time

    Been looking a lot at BHA, and am still unsure. Y2Y and all...
    Dont like all the infighting recently at BCWF. Seem really unstable.
    Had issues with membership at WSS. It would be tough to give them my money.

    However, I’m okay with just helping put animals on the landscape. Need to start somewhere. Right now Rocky Mountain Goat Alliance has my attention.

    I would say join the one that supports your beliefs then become active. Decisions are made by those that show up.
    In my opinion the rise of the BHA (good or bad) is a direct result the the current disorganization within the BCWF and their loss of focus on regional issues.

    I don’t know much about the goat alliance so no opinion there. Out of the ones I listed outside of WSS I would take a risk on SCI because I can at least see potential with the right members

    I don’t like the BCWF and think they are a mess but I would buy a life time membership for the BCWF before I paid for a 1 year BHA membership.
