    That’s too bad, seems like an awfully long way to go to throw the meat away and eat the antlers...
    The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..

    Yes, it is unfortunate.
    Thankfully however, Alberta is taking the right steps by testing.
    Unfortunately, it seems like in BC the testing is "random", not thorough.
    But then again they haven't found an issue as of yet in BC.
    Hopefully they are tracking where "positives" are found in Alberta.
    Basically saying "I am hoping that they are having open dialogue between provinces and working together".
    Hopefully not like our police forces, VPD and RCMP did, where they didn't share info to help each other out for so long.

    BC tends to think it can do things better....quite arrogant that way in my opinion. Always trying to create the better wheel at 10x the cost

    Alberta discontinued the replacement tag program some years ago now.
    Unfortunate, especially when it relates to a draw tag that took many many years to accumulate sufficient priority points to realize said draw.

    Tracking and mapping for the public. All info (and a map up to 2017) can be found here.

    Re: CWD Update

    It's obvious CWD is a question of if it will reach BC.
    It's just a question as to when!

    Which brings up a question in regards to possible treatments and the researching of.
    It's sounds as if the States are trying to work on it.
    But, is any research being done in Canada, and more to the point, in BC, say at UBC?

    I wonder if the Ministry/Government here in BC is also mismanaging another issue that is inevitable and will only
    consider reacting once the problem exists here in BC?
    I know they are trying to track it to some degree, but are they trying to work or provide funding here in BC to find
    a treatment?

    Hmmm the system DID work for first Geoff..then for me.
    We submitted samples seperatly and the system caught the diseased animals, both of them and notified us, and successfuly and correctly confiscated the animals.
    I am completely satisfied and relieved .
    First animal with CWD through the local system..it works and kept us safe.
